Currently if VIRTIO_RING_F_INDIRECT_DESC is enabled we will
use indirect descriptors and allocate them using a simple
kmalloc().
This patch adds a cache which will allow indirect buffers under
a configurable size to be allocated from that cache instead.

It should, yeah.
Too bad slub doesn't yell at you for doing that.
