I successfully "Build-n-Boot-to-login" tested the following patchset
(together with the ia64 patch from V2 changed to:

...) on top of v6.6-rc4 on my rx2620. I also applied the measurement
patch (commented the printk in `new_dir` and uncommented the if
conditional).
I used a bash arithmetic expression (`accum=$(( accum + n ))`) in your
script to calculate the total memory savings, because `calc` is not
available as package for Debian on ia64.
There are no memory savings for this configuration.
But using the measurement patch with the printk in `new_dir` uncommented
and the if conditional also uncommented I see the following savings (I
assume this is the same as your measurement patch because the other
configuration didn't yield any savings):
