OK.  Does that mean you're going to take a look?

SPL is space constrained, which is why we mask out all of the safety
checks.  But we still generally have enough memory that this is fine.
This specific board has 256KiB for SPL, for example.  But I'm not just
concerned about 1KiB of growth when everything is masked off, I'm also
concerned about 2KiB of growth over a changelog that doesn't read like
it added a bunch of stuff that should cause everything to grow, either.
