The main motivation is actually not to save the memory (that's just
a useful side effect), but increase the max limit on 64bit systems.
Fixing it fully will require fixing vmalloc of course, but it already
help. Without it you can't get more than ~3800 rules
on a 64bit system with NR_CPUS==128 and 128 byte cache lines.
