    Is it really worth the effort?  During the past year the average

    increased dramatically.  In case of the MIPS port the core
    activity is about to move away from the 32-bit to 64-bit kernel.

For some hand-held devices (eg. iPAQ), we want as much memory free as
possible as the only filesystem available is ramfs... moving to 64-bit
would be unthinkable! :)
