Did some space consumption comparisons on make -j 256:

before:
24116 pte_chain objects in slab cache
after:
716 pte_chain objects in slab cache

The vast majority of anonymous pages (for which we're using the non
object based method) are singletons, and hence use pte_direct ...
hence the massive space reduction.
