This was (following the packagefs changes) the number-one (by call
count) consumer of malloc() during the boot -- 52866 calls, and 100%
of them either 1024 or 1025 bytes!
Virtually all of these are ephemeral (indeed, the object_cache
stats after a boot with this patch shows there is only a single slab
of 64 buffers allocated, and most of them unused), so this is
probably a significant performance boost.
