Is there a problem that is preventing this -ffunction-sections patch 
series from being merged?

Support for building the kernel with -ffunction-sections is significant 
progress for decreasing the kernel size on embedded systems using section 
garbage collection.  Support for -ffunction-sections is also the primary 
change to the kernel needed as a prerequisite for the Ksplice rebootless 
update system.

It still applies to 2.6.30-rc2 and linux-next.

	Thanks,
