Ok, pls put the reasoning for the change in the next revision's commit
message along with how much KB savings we're talking about.
Thx.

Reducing the kernel size. Think of very high density virtualization
(w/ specially stripped-down workloads) or embedded systems.
For example, I'm running bare minimum kernels w/ only kvm and virtio
(not even pci, etc) in such scenarios.
Of course, that's nothing for an average distro, therefore leaving
default y.

I can think of a couple of reasons but maybe yours might not be the one
I'm thinking of.
