There are some savings in vmlinuz left: remove math emulation, making 
486DX the minimum required CPU and dropping support for EISA/VLB.
That saves approx. 40 KiB.

Probably good to remove both anyway, I don't think 486SX would work 
because of memory shortage and non-graphics EISA/VLB cards should be 
pretty rare by now.
