kmalloc will round up the request size to power of 2, and current iova_magazine's size is 1032 (1024+8) bytes, so each instance allocated will get 2048 bytes from kmalloc, causing around 1KB waste. Change IOVA_MAG_SIZE from 128 to 127 to make size of 'iova_magazine' 1024 bytes so that no memory will be wasted.
