    kernel - Code path optimization for kmalloc/kfree
    
    * Use __read_frequently for numerous variables.
    
    * Increase the pcpu slab cache on high-memory machines.  This reduces
      kernel_map and smpinvltlb interactions.
    
    * Get rid of the ZoneGenAlloc and ZoneBigAlloc sysctl tracking
      variables.  These were causing unnecessary frequent cache line
      bouncing between cpus.
    
      Also get rid of SlabsFreed and SlabsAllocated.
    
    * Get rid of unused sysctl variables.
    
    * Make the on-kfree bcopy of weirdary optional (default OFF now).
      It was previously unconditional and on by default.
