Also nice :-)

Here's my numbers (again with lots of debug enabled):

old:
[    0.027087] Freeing SMP alternatives: 12k freed
[    6.835298] Freeing initrd memory: 8004k freed
[   18.820837] Freeing unused kernel memory: 1092k freed
[   18.838487] Freeing unused kernel memory: 1456k freed
[   18.850665] Freeing unused kernel memory: 1544k freed

new:
[    0.025087] Freeing SMP alternatives: 12k freed
[    6.775349] Freeing initrd memory: 8004k freed
[   18.753519] Freeing unused kernel memory: 1144k freed
[   18.771447] Freeing unused kernel memory: 1508k freed
[   18.783637] Freeing unused kernel memory: 1544k freed

Lets hope these pass all my tests.
