My numbers are different (1% for the GENERIC kernel, and this
is with all code changes in-between):

-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  8942239 Apr 11 16:20 kernel.old/kernel
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  9035021 May 24 16:23 kernel/kernel

bde@ also reported a 1% code bloat in another thread, so I think
you should look at your own changes.
