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.

I will likely not manage before Plumbers and Labs. Sorry.
