I see things like:

# KTRACE enables the system-call tracing facility ktrace(2).
# This adds 4 KB bloat to your kernel, and slightly increases
# the costs of each syscall.
options         KTRACE          #kernel tracing

and

# This provides support for System V shared memory.
# 
options         SYSVSHM 

in GENERIC. I'd also say you could do without things like procfs.

In other words, maybe an INSTALL kernel is in order? (Ducks for cover)
