Unfortunately, there is work going on in this area already. Mark
Hemment and myself are merging the SLAB allocator to the 2.1.*
sources, which provides what your change does but for all allocations
which are of constant size.

See http://www.nextd.demon.co.uk/ for details and code.

The kmalloc profiling work is interesting though.
