Yes I was referring to the data portion which is kmalloc'ed.
That is also why I'm interested in ksize because a priori we
don't know exactly how big it's going to be. However, we do
know that statistically 1500 will dominate.

I'm not interested in ksize for kmem_cache at all. So in fact
we could have something simpler that's based on kmalloc's rounding
algorithm instead.
