If it's a size (which is only grew from 13M->14M), it's weird.

Nevertheless, I reverted these in my local tree

85515a7f0ae7 (HEAD -> topic/mrfld) Revert "defconfig: enable DEBUG_SPINLOCK"
786e04262621 Revert "defconfig: enable DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP"
76ad0a0c3f2d Revert "defconfig: enable DEBUG_INFO"
f8090166c1be Revert "defconfig: enable DEBUG_LIST && DEBUG_OBJECTS_RCU_HEAD"

and it boots again! So, after this merge something affects one of this?

I'll continuing debugging which one is a culprit, just want to share
the intermediate findings.
