if i didn't missed smth, it's a standard 2.4 mdk config
+ some new ide drivers (part of them probably can be built as modules)
and agpgart by misstake (agp support, not via-agp, ati-agp, ...)

i know, but there is no solution (? currently? )

in -mm i think there is config option to compile with -Os not -O2
other alternatives to reduce the size are:
- to update/fix the bzip2 compression support patches 
- to drop some of the schedulers, futexes, ... (CONFIG_EMBEDDED)
but i don't think the second is a good solution :(
