If they care that much they should submit a patch to build a PReP
specific kernel that doesn't include this stuff. And while you are
buying G5's for people send one my way :)
I vote that we just get ride of this sections stuff for prep, pmac,
of, chrp and if we want to reduce the code size make it a compile
choice to build specific kernel's that dont include the crap that the
others need. (especially based on the numbers that Jon has posted
for size).
