"... be used during kernel stage."
Also, can you give a specific example of this problem? (Which data, used how?)

This seems like a reasonable idea, but I think the changes should be
noted/updated in misc.c since a lot of effort was made to make the
in-memory foot print as small as possible. These changes do expand the
size of the loaded kernel, IIUC. If not in this patch, maybe in 5/7?
