Seeing it as a false positive increase at the top is just noise:
linux-head$./scripts/bloat-o-meter ../pre/vmlinux ../post/vmlinux
add/remove: 0/571 grow/shrink: 1/9 up/down: 20/-64662 (-64642)
Function old new delta
vermagic 49 69 +20
Since it really doesn't "grow", it makes sense to filter it out.
