Or you could just bump it up in your config where you seem to be hitting
this problem. The default of 400 is sufficient for most people, so
bloating it up for a corner case seems a bit premature. Perhaps
eventually we'll have no choice and have to tolerate the bloat, as we did
with LOG_BUF_SHIFT, but it's not obvious that we've hit that point with
kmemleak yet.
