I have to agree with Andrew here.  We waste many many K of "precious" kernel
space to print out pretty names for our devices, and all that does is give
users something that scrolls by very fast when they boot.

Knowing briefly what the sysctl knob will change right there in the output of
sysctl -a seems like a win to me-- and a much bigger one that knowing 
that my PIII supports the ABCDEFG-HOOKED-ON-PHONICS-WORKED-FOR-ME flag.

...and we can disable this memory usage.  Try to disable all the strings
that match/attach embed.
