You'll excuse me if I take this slightly personally.

You really can't expect me to say that I'm fine with a 6K growth in
kernel size for something that not every platform needs if there's
been objections to maybe a 128 byte growth for including the V:P
patching code in the kernel by default.

Either we care about memory usage or we don't.  If we don't, lets get
rid of offering ARM_PATCH_PHYS_VIRT in any configuration and always
build with the dynamic V:P stuff enabled for the trivial cases.  I
mean:

 config ARM_PATCH_PHYS_VIRT
-	bool "Patch physical to virtual translations at runtime" if EMBEDDED
+	bool
	default y
	depends on !XIP_KERNEL && MMU
	depends on !ARCH_REALVIEW || !SPARSEMEM
