Yeah, exactly. I think what needs to be done is to separate out SFF

Thinking long term, I continue to hope that SFF support can eventually
be separate into a sub-API, allowing people to disable (at compile
time) SFF support completely if they don't need it.

I can think of a few more pressing things to disable before that.
Like ACPI and PMP. Modularizing those (or more crudely de-selecting them
at build time) would save a lot of memory on small embedded boxes.
Sure. Make these options dependent on CONFIG_EMBEDDED, and go to town
from there...
