Since these are stored in arrays that are typically 512 KiB each
(i.e. which in turn typically store metadata for 128 MiB), they will
certainly be a page-size multiple, and large contiguous allocations are
allowed at least at boot time. Not only is the linked-list allocator
less efficient for that, but this change will also help reduce TLB
overhead.
