non-SMP ? Do people still build those :) ?
Just kidding.

Hmm, why would it be any different ?
I've just build UP kernel with and w/o the patch

size vmlinux

before
text data bss dec hex filename
3313797 307060 310352 3931209 3bfc49 vmlinux

after
text data bss dec hex filename
3313797 307060 310352 3931209 3bfc49 vmlinux

I think we're good here.
