[PATCH 06/31] mm: kmem_alloc_estimate()

[Suresh Jayaraman]

From: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@xxxxxxxxx> 

Provide a method to get the upper bound on the pages needed to allocate
a given number of objects from a given kmem_cache.

This lays the foundation for a generic reserve framework as presented in
a later patch in this series. This framework needs to convert object demand
(kmalloc() bytes, kmem_cache_alloc() objects) to pages.
