sizeof(struct statistic_coll) = 16+64+8+8+4+8+8 = 116
sizeof(struct statistic) = 4+4+8+8+8+8+8+4+8+4+4 = 68
                         + 8*NR_CPUS
			 + kmalloc_size(obj)*nr_cpu_ids


4 objs with size 40, gives 4*64 = 256 * nr_cpu_ids
1 obj with size 32 + more


for 2048 total classes this gives:

2048 * (116+68) = 376832

for each active class this adds per cpu:

  8+256+32+some = 296+

we have around 1400 locks in the kernel, this would give 414400 per cpu.

vs the old code:

2048*(4*8) = 65536
+
2048*(4*4*8 + 4*8) = 327680 per cpu

worst case

I'm not convinced 300 lines less code is worth that extra bloat.
