The space requirements are really on the install floppies.

The idea is that, as a whole, we don't bloat the kernel.  That we maintain
some sort of discipline with keeping the regular kernel code small.

Occasionally bloat causes us other problems, so trying to shrink the
main code helps.

But the iwx driver isn't usually on the smallest RAMDISK* images.
