This series should apply cleanly against 2.6.11-rc1-mm2. When selected, it enables various tweaks to miscellaneous core data structures to shrink their size on small systems. While each tweak is fairly small, in aggregate they can save a substantial amount of memory. 1 Add option to embedded menu 2 Collapse major names hash 3 Collapse chrdevs hash 4 Shrink PID lookup tables 5 Shrink uid hash 6 Shrink futex queue hash 7 Shrink timer lists 8 Shrink console buffer
