could we _please_ use basic tools as vmlinux size comparison and

case in point, the patch claims:
No functional change is made.
but vmlinux before/after size comparison shows:
text data bss dec hex filename
8802894 1224910 3526656 13554460 ced31c vmlinux.before
8803042 1224910 3526656 13554608 ced3b0 vmlinux.after
Well, "no functional changes" is not quite the same thing as "no object
code changes".

I'm by far no expert on the subject, but after a quick eyes-debug,
have you got the size and type parameters reversed here:
+ set_tssldt_descriptor(&tss, (unsigned long)addr,
IO_BITMAP_OFFSET + IO_BITMAP_BYTES + sizeof(unsigned long) - 1,
DESC_TSS);
Should DESC_TSS be the parameter before that big size equation?
That's it. I made this mistake once, and fixed it. But I may have sent
an older, and obviously wrong version of the patch. My fault.
