Subject: Re: [PATCH] kbuild: llvmlinux: Set appropriate compiler-flag for
 CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE

Other than you changing the commit comment, this *is* my patch.

I haven't upstreamed this patch yet because we are still characterizing 
its effects on other architectures.

Clang certainly doesn't require -Oz to be used to be able to boot for 
arm nor arm64. So the commit message isn't correct either.
