if put the kernel in a sperate partition, i think it may waste some space, because you must keep the partition larger than the size of kernel.
Yes, you may lose a few 100 kB. But you get a lot of additionally flexibility (like being able to update kernel and root file system independently from each other). And if your system does not allow for 100 or 200 kB now when you start designing the system you have MAJOR problems anyway as your application software will need MUCH more reserve.
