Does the tiny kexec kernel actually need network, bio(4) or HID devices?
octeon/BOOT does not have any of this.

Looks like too much of powerpc64/RAMDISK remained, but I might be missing
some obvious difference between these platforms.

The Raptor CS Blackbird used for the re-upgrade prevention diff still boots
with this smaller config.

I'm just curious, this diff shows what I mean and doesn't fix anything.
