including Win32.
kmalloc allocates any number of bytes of phisically contiguous memory from
a pool of pre-determined sizes. This pool of memory is mantained by the slab

In a 2.4/2.6 kernel and the i386 architecture, the limit is 131072 bytes. The
predetermined sizes that kmalloc uses can be checked in the "size-<bytes>"
<block number> * <block size> / <frame size>

reading the packet we should not try to check the
checksum.
