I guess we are both talking about the same thing in different words. All
the allocations are static before the patch while all are dynamic after
the patch. Your boot example just shows how much dynamic memory gets
allocated during your boot. This will depend on the particular
configuration but it will at least give a picture what the savings might
be.
