[MODSLAB 7/7] A slab allocator: Page Slab allocator
"The page slab is a specialized slab allocator that can only handle
page order size object. It directly uses the page allocator to
track the objects and can therefore avoid the overhead of the
slabifier."

But this one allocates page-order size objects. I usually have plenty
of small objects in kmemleak.
