Not that I can account for the problem in this specific case, in my
experience cutting down kmalloc() calls matters a _lot_ performance
wise.
For example, this is why we allocate TCP sockets as one huge blob
instead of 3 seperate allocations (generic socket, IP socket, TCP
socket).
In fact, one of the remaining performance issues in IPSEC rule
creation is that we allocate seperately hunks of memory for the rule's
encryption state, the optional hash algorithm state, etc.
