Oh I thought kmalloc_caches[KMALLOC_NORMAL] is an array of the actual
struct kmem_cache objects, so I thought we can just check if:
s >= kmalloc_caches[KMALLOC_NORMAL][0] &&
s >= kmalloc_caches[KMALLOC_NORMAL][LAST_INDEX]
I just realized it's an array of pointers, so we would need to loop
and compare them.
I still find the flags comparisons unclear and not very future-proof
tbh. I think we can just store the type in struct kmem_cache? I think
there are multiple holes there.
