Don't do that. If you want to benchmark the patch, you need to
make sure you don't end up benchmarking a random code alignment
difference. You need to use many different kernels. Change the
unrelated config options, move functions around, etc. You could
put all the functions in alphabetical order, then backwards,
then alphabetical order of backwards names...
