The difference is with "config config.h", the device in static will point to one all zero struct about 4 bytes ( without .name and only has .enable_dev=0). Or .chip_ops = some _ops.
Eric has comment out config.h for socket. Only unsued chip_ops is for NB and MB. Others root_complex and SB bridge and superio.

YhLu is extremely tight on space right now and I think that needs to be addressed before we require any more slight size increases.
