Thanks!

This is just the bucketizer (it returns "int" for the kmalloc bucket).

Not an allocator.

This allocates a list of pointers, where "size" is the length of the
list.

Yes, these should be marked, good point.

This was already marked.

Yeah, these might get passed through in LTO situations. I'll add them.

> * kmalloc_array_node

I'll add this -- I thought it was already here but it got missed.

Thanks!
