I don't like that this became exported. I would prefer if
it could stay inline. if at all possible?

Yes this is a well needed calculation.

Only now the SCSI part of the allocator is missing.
What is needed is the code a posted a while back that
automatically adjusts pools and sizes to this constant.
I will post that again soon.
(Note that this is a bug on current code since above is 256
in 32 bit code and scsi_lib is only ready for 128)
