This series streamlines the request allocation path.


Series looks innocuous enough to me, but it's about a 1.5% performance
drop here with an actual device. These tests are very stable, anything
over ~0.1% is definitely outside of noise. I repeated and rebooted a few
times and tested both, it's persistent. No smoking guns in the profile.

Can you do a bisect to narrow it down to one of the patches?

Sure, I'll give it a whirl.
