So, for v4 of this series, most arm64 platforms grow by ~1KiB (a few are
2, a few are a bit less than 1). 32bit ARM is similar but now mx6sabresd
doesn't build in CI (there's some embedded path names that now overflow,
try make O=/tmp/1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9/10/mx6sabresd mx6sabresd_config all).
For size changes, really most architectures are like that, so perhaps
it's worth stepping back again and asking where this should be default
enabled. For the mx6sabresd part, if we drop the recording for ad-hoc
(which I think you had suggested at some point since I wasn't sure about
that direction), everything builds at least.
