As I already answered privately - I do have them right now.
And those patches were not mine.
Most of them was collected right on lkml or from digests on lwn.net.

performance more, than with image size. And had no luck achiving

Okay. I have found it.
But I cannot find how it is used.
I have grepped thru 2.6.0-test0 - but I can find only entries in
defconfigs - but no mentions in .h/.c files.
What I'm missing?
And yes - this option doesn't work in 'make menuconfig'.

Correct me if I'm wrong.
I was just poking around 'small is beatiful'.
P.S. To my earlier 'far from vanilla' comment (-x '.*' - to skip
.depend/.config/etc):
$ diff -urN -x '.*' ./linux-2.4.17 \
/opt/hardhat/devkit/lsp/ibm-walnut-ppc_405/linux-2.4.17_mvl21\
| wc -l
1128089
$
and more than 500 additional CONFIG_* parameters comparing to vanilla.
