OK, on ARM with slightly more than an allnoconfig (allnoconfig itself
wouldn't build) I see:

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
1361476	  71360	 167320	1600156	 186a9c	vmlinux.nopm
1364228	  71520	 167480	1603228	 18769c	vmlinux

   2752     160     160    3072

so 3K from CONFIG_PM there, mostly from the ARM VIC management code
which I suspect really wants to be under one of the more specific PM
options, though obviously this comes back to the issue with bitrotted
ifdefs for PM whcih pervades the kernel.
