d553bae749 Kernel: Allocate more 8-byte slabs than anything else
We need these for PhysicalPage objects. Ultimately I'd like to get rid
of these objects entirely, but while we still have to deal with them,
let's at least handle large demand a bit better.

c58455fb63 Kernel: Tweak SlabAllocator size classes
Shrink the 52 class down to 48 since it was mostly made for Region,
and Region just shrank to 48 :^)

5d491fa1cd Kernel: Add a simple slab allocator for small allocations
This is a freelist allocator with static size classes that works as a
complement to the generic kmalloc(). It's a lot faster than kmalloc()
since allocation just means popping from the freelist.

It's also significantly more compact when there are a lot of objects
smaller than the minimum kmalloc chunk size (32 bytes.)

This patch enables it for the Region and PhysicalPage classes.
In the PhysicalPage (8 bytes) case, it's a huge improvement since we
no longer waste 75% of the storage allocated.

There are also a number of ways this can be improved, so let's keep
working on it going forward.
