I'd expect big BOs to have their size naturally aligned on something
bigger than a 4k page anyway, so I don't expect multi-MB/GB buffers to
be using the KiB unit in practice. It's just that it's weird to have,
8MiB printed as 8192KiB when we could have used the upper unit,
because it's naturally aligned on a megabyte.

Maybe we should have something like that instead:

	for (u = 0; u < ARRAY_SIZE(units) - 1; u++) {
		if ((sz & (SZ_1K - 1)) &&
		    sz < UPPER_UNIT_THRESHOLD * SZ_1K)
			break;

		sz = div_u64(sz, SZ_1K);
	}
