Not really. This buffer needs to be static because it is used before
kmemleak is fully initialised. It's also tracking bootmem allocations.
But this size should not increase the Image file size as it should go in
the BSS section.
An additional question - why do you need to increase this size? I found
400 to be enough usually. Do you get any errors?
Since you backported kmemleak, please make sure that you check the
latest code in mm/kmemleak.c as there are some bug-fixes.
