I tried this briefly while working on the m57sli and s2891 additions to
buildrom, and could not fit the kexec binary and lab in less than 1MB.

But I didn't investigate exactly how the kexec binary is built in buildrom,
and there might be some more trimming of the kernel config that can be done.

Ward.
