* 10% memory waste we potentially allocate a separate uma_slab_t if this will
* improve the number of items per slab that will fit.
*
* Other potential space optimizations are storing the 8bit of linkage in space
* wasted between items due to alignment problems. This may yield a much better
* memory footprint for certain sizes of objects. Another alternative is to
* increase the UMA_SLAB_SIZE, or allow for dynamic slab sizes. I prefer
* dynamic slab sizes because we could stick with 8 bit indices and only use
* large slab sizes for zones with a lot of waste per slab. This may create
* inefficiencies in the vm subsystem due to fragmentation in the address space.
*
* The only really gross cases, with regards to memory waste, are for those
* items that are just over half the page size. You can get nearly 50% waste,
* so you fall back to the memory footprint of the power of two allocator. I
