Ah-ha! Thanks for finding the specific commit; I'll adjust attribution. Are you able to describe how you chose the various excluded kmem caches? (I assume it wasn't just "highest numbers in the stats reporting".) And why run the ctor after wipe? Doesn't that means you're just running the ctor again at the next allocation time?
