This can be disabled (to save a bit of space) with the NO_KERNEL_RCSIDS options, which is present but commented out in the ALPHA config file. In ELF-format kernels, these strings are present in the kernel binary but are not loaded into memory. (In ECOFF-format kernels, there's no easy way to keep them from being loaded, so they _are_ loaded into memory.)
