It's already done in 2.6.17-rc1 for x86_64:
Processor type and feature --> Function reordering
arch/x86_64/Kconfig:
config REORDER

default n
help
This option enables the toolchain to reorder functions for a more
optimal TLB usage. If you have pretty much any version of binutils,
this can increase your kernel build time by roughly one minute.
