Kernel-size-limitation

[David Spreen <david@spreen.de>]

Hi there,
I am packaging the harden kernel for debian. Because I want it to be a possible
alternative for everyone, I grepped the .config from herbert's 
kernel-image-2.2.19 and patched the kernel with some patches.
Now, the kernel is some kbytes too big, because bzImage in kernel
2.2.19 is limited to 1024 kbytes. In 2.4er Kernels it's limited to 2.5MB,
why? In my opinion there should be no difference how the kernels are loaded,
because you need no update of your bootloader and so on.
Would it be too evil to patch the kernel-source to let it allow 
20kbyte more size?

so long...

David
