Well, it's quite hard nowadays since the base 2.6 kernel has grown quite
a lot in features that are not modular. I managed to slim my sparc32
kernel down last year but it was quite a pain. Initrd/initramfs becomes
almost a must and I seem to remember that I had to also disable some new
2.6 features to make it fit.

Granted, there are more burning problems with the sparc32 port than
enhancing the boot protocol but it is a real problem IMHO.
