Can we not use a b&w bitmap and twiddle the font when the kernel inits? That
way, it call all be marked __initdata and not be considered unnecessary
bloat.
Restoring the font when init execs of course, by which time, the logo will
probably have scrolled off. (Well, my fairly minimalist kernel blots out 90
or so lines).
