And for the fun of it I hacked Kconfig to allow a SMP=y NR_CPUS=1 build
and checked the size of vmlinux:

                64-bit          32-bit
SMP, NCPUS=1    38438400        22110177
UP              38393703        21682041
Delta              44697          428076
                     0.1%              2%              

The UP savings are not really impressive...

Let me look what it actually takes to do that.

Thanks,

        tglx
