Nobody cares about 4 KiB of Chip RAM, especially not if you have to piss off the
Debian Kernel Team to have it now instead of in a few months :-)

Yeah, that's a valid one,
My (and probably lkml's) main issue there is that it introduces yet

And to back up Christian: keep up the good work!

when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
