slab: make size_index[] array u8
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
All those small numbers are reverse indexes into kmalloc caches array
and can't be negative.

On x86_64 "unsigned int = fls()" can drop CDQE instruction:

	add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/1 up/down: 0/-2 (-2)
	Function                                     old     new   delta
	kmalloc_slab                                 101      99      -2
