Nice, thanks a lot for testing!

I suspect that most of this is for the added devicetree code, and some
more for the common-clk layer. For the omap1_defconfig, there is some
hope to get part of the overhead back eventually by replacing board files
with dts descriptions that are not part of the zImage itself, but it's unlikely
to ever get smaller than it was.
