Allocate the cache_request object and it's buffer in a single
contiguous memory allocation instead of two separate ones.
Code trawling shows that none of the users of caches make upcalls
anywhere near even the small x86 PAGE_SIZE, so we can afford to lose
a few bytes. One less allocation makes the code a little simpler.
