Subject: [PATCH] store __setup_str_* in a more compact way
Date: Tue, 28 Aug 2007 11:07:34 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <46D41006.76E4.0078.0@novell.com> (raw)

__setup_str_* are referenced only during boot, hence there's no need to
waste image space for aligning these strings (with the aim of improving
performance).
