Speaking of micro-Yocto, this patch series got mentioned on Phoronix:
http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1405.0/index.html#02486
(RFC: A reduced Linux network stack for small machines)
It's a patch series used with micro-Yocto and tested by Tom Zanussi,
that reduces size of the network stack to about 170k .text from 400k
(at least when combined with LTO...they may  be able to improve that)
Of course Dave Miller said "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no..."
And there I found a link to github.com/tzanussi/linux-yocto-micro-3.14

Thanks,
Isaac Dunham
