Not really.  That prints to a buffer, so we'll need to allocate stack
space for a buffer, which we also have to size properly.  We also want
to be consistent with other parts of smaps that mean kB==1024 bytes, so
we want string_get_size()'s STRING_UNITS_10 strings, but
STRING_UNITS_2's divisor.

Also, guaranteeing that we have a power-of-2 'block size' lets us cheat
and do things much faster than using real division.  Not that it
matters, but we could do it thousands of times for a large smaps file.

Being defined locally, this stuff also gets inlined pretty aggressively.

Given all that, I'm not sure I want to modify string_get_size() to do
exactly what we need here.
