hmm, each controller adds 16bytes, then even on 100 controller platforms
1600bytes. 1600 Bytes/64MB ~= 0.238%. it's trival. And is there such platform?

>From another side, recently UP support is removed from the core sched,
that removing adds more .text and .data overhead, so if the users really
care about this kind of 16bytes, it means he(she) can't afford even the
16Bytes overhead, then I bet he(she) the always SMP in core sched, so
why not stick with the old kernel? What do you think?
