So if we do not select CONFIG_SRCU, srcu.o will not be compiled at all. So we 
should save about

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   2007       0       0    2007     7d7 kernel/rcu/srcu.o

as in size of arch/powerpc/boot/zImage changes from

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
 831552   64180   23944  919676   e087c arch/powerpc/boot/zImage : before
 829504   64180   23952  917636   e0084 arch/powerpc/boot/zImage : after

so about ~2000 bytes I guess.
