The memory extra overhead would be sizeof(list_head) * nr of classes *
extra fullness groups = 16 * 255 * 6 = 24480 bytes ~= 24KB on a
machine with 4096 page size. Sounds reasonable (although I wonder how
it scales with PAGE_SIZE).

Is there a reason why this can't be done with something like #define
FULLNESS_GROUPS 10? We can make sure during build that (100 %
FULLNESS_GROUPS == 0) to make our lives easier. I feel like the code
will be much more concise and easier to navigate, instead of multiple
enums and static arrays.
