Meh, I don't know where I came up with the wrong information that kmalloc aligned to 16-bytes instead of 8 bytes. I do wonder why I didn't hit this while testing, though. Maybe an artifact of slub, or just my luck that I never got a memory block that was not aligned to 16 bytes. I will fix this. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
