(Slightly disappointing) space savings on F29 x86_64 config: add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/2164 up/down: 0/-5184 (-5184) Function old new delta zstd_get_workspace 548 546 -2 ... mlx4_delete_all_resources_for_slave 4826 4804 -22 Total: Before=83304131, After=83298947, chg -0.01% New constants are: 0xdead000000000100 0xdead000000000122 Note: LIST_POISON1 can't be changed to ...11 because something in page allocator requires low bit unset.
