The size tool only displays the sum of .text, .data and .bss, but completely
ignores other sections. So if you manage to move part of the object e.g.
into .rodata or .initdata, it will show a smaller size although the size of
the actual vmlinux file stays the same.
Erics point was just about .data getting smaller, not about the bogus sum.
