As all allocations start from a get_free_page, which only returns chunks
on their natural boundries (ie 4K on 4K boundry... 64K on 64K boundry).
Given that, unless the slab will allocate order > 4 chunks to satisfy
packet allocations... and it will. Oh well. At least you can be
reasonably sure that the packet won't cross the 16MB barrier.
