I forgot to address the second part of this question: How would I best inspect whether the kernel is doing that?
Looking at the kmalloc() sizes from vmstat -m I have the following on one of the machines (so very few larger than 4096). But I suspect you are asking for something different?
kmalloc-8192 52 56 8192 4 kmalloc-4096 33927 62040 4096 8 kmalloc-2048 338 416 2048 16 kmalloc-1024 76211 246976 1024 32 kmalloc-512 1134 1216 512 32 kmalloc-256 109523 324928 256 32 kmalloc-128 3902 4288 128 32 kmalloc-64 105296 105536 64 64 kmalloc-32 2120 2176 32 128 kmalloc-16 4607 4608 16 256 kmalloc-8 6655 6656 8 512 kmalloc-192 6546 9030 192 21 kmalloc-96 29694 32298 96 42
