The -r flag to find-debuginfo.sh to invoke eu-strip --reloc-debug-sections reduces the number of unnecessary relocations in kernel module .ko.debug files. This saves ~500MB on the installed size of the kernel-debuginfo package and makes the rpm file ~30MB smaller.
Ping. Attached is a rebase of the same patch to current kernel master (without spec bump to make merging easier). As explained on irc I did test this on various arches and against a full make installcheck run of systemtap to make sure things work as expected. If there is anything else I can do to get this patch in please let me know.
I think you forgot to attach the rebase, but it was trivial to fix up from the original patch anyway. I've committed and pushed your change to f17/rawhide now.
Thanks much for the great patch.
