kmalloc_index(0 already bugs if the allocation is more than 64M


...

   if (size <=  64 * 1024 * 1024) return 26;
        BUG();


You could modify that to check for KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE with some more
conditionals but then kmalloc_index) is written so that the compiler gets
constant folding right.

If you have a patch like that then please verify that all c compilers in
use perform correct constant folding and do not add unnecessary code.
