I was thinking about this as well, because my TTY hackery could also use
this to preallocate cblocks to store characters from interrupts, but
then you could also just keep a free list to store them. You need to
allocate them anyway, so the space is already wasted.
Using your own per-{device,object,etc} free list should even be faster,
because uma probably has some per-zone spinlock, while you may not need
the locking in your specific situation (i.e. another lock already
protects it).
