The problem I see in https://kernel.opensuse.org/cgit/kernel-source/tree/config/x86_64/kvmsmall is that lots of drivers and subsystems get blacklisted (I2C, USB, SENSORS, ...). So kvmsmall would need active work to stay small. By comparison, 64kb is just changing a handful of settings and usually does not need to be updated by me. https://kernel.opensuse.org/cgit/kernel-source/tree/config/arm64/64kb > If you run out of time to update some kernel configs, just ping me.
