If you just make sure CONFIG_KEXEC is enabled, you're good. No extra
kernel patches needed.

That depends on what functionality you still need :-)
arch/arm/config/gta02_micro_defconfig

(That was done before certain unnecessary build dependencies were
fixed, so now there should be even a bit more you can cut out.)
