That could be hard, because the amount of tinyness which
can be forced on the VM versus, say, IPV4 will vary from
application to application.
I think this is best solved with documentation, frankly.
Just itemise where the large memory-consumers are, how
much they can be reduced, how to reduce them and what
the consequences of this are.
There's quite a bit of stuff out there - just google
for "linux embedded memory requirements reduce".
It's a matter of pulling it all together.
