Yes, but most developpers use 64bit kernels anyway, I suspect nobody
will ever notice :(

Here (with a typical config), here is the vmlinux size before and after
this patch :

$ size vmlinux.old
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
6061748	 640208	7285056	13987012	 d56cc4	vmlinux.old

$ size vmlinux
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
6070420	 640208	7285056	13995684	 d58ea4	vmlinux


Thats 8672 bytes of text increase.

(1330326 instructions instead of 1328472 -> 1854 more instructions)
