[plug] Kernel too big

One way to make the kernel smaller is when make ...config
(choose your favourite for ...) gives an option `m' for compile
as module, respond with `m' instead of `y'. Then ...

make zImage

ought to be ok. Alternatively, if you don't want to go back
through the config process, take John Summerfield's approach:

make bzImage

... gee, I never attempt anything like this without reading
accompanying READMEs. The README in the directory you perform
the make describes all this.
