Correction:

   32% of kernel functions fit into a single cacheline,
   55% fit into two cachelines,
   70% into three cachelines,
   76% into four cachelines

so the tail is longer than my quick read of the graph suggested.

OTOH, probability of use is biased towards smaller functions: we tend 
to use smaller, facility functions more frequently.

Thanks,
