Just a few trivial notes before stopped reading as it was
very long.

OOM messages aren't necessary as they are reported
with a dump_stack in the alloc functions and please
make sure all messages are newline terminated.

Reallocs should _always_ use a new temporary.
Otherwise, there will be a memory leak of the
original pointer memory on failure.

please use kcalloc where appropriate.

kcalloc...

that realloc ptr use again.

and again, I won't look for it again.

Perhaps more style conformant as:

static const u8 sizetocode[16] = {
0, 1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6, 6, 7
};

clamp()
