I think any work of this nature ought to involve benchmarking. That
would answer the questions better. kmalloc/kfree is a smart allocator
so shouldn't cause problems, and it doesn't manipulate address space so
shouldn't cause TLB misses.
You want to make these changes, you say they are needed, but what
actually talks is real numbers.
