Kernel: Add a simple slab allocator for small allocations
This is a freelist allocator with static size classes that works as a complement to the generic kmalloc(). It's a lot faster than kmalloc() since allocation just means popping from the freelist. It's also significantly more compact when there are a lot of objects smaller than the minimum kmalloc chunk size (32 bytes.) This patch enables it for the Region and PhysicalPage classes. In the PhysicalPage (8 bytes) case, it's a huge improvement since we no longer waste 75% of the storage allocated. There are also a number of ways this can be improved, so let's keep working on it going forward.
