Thanks for the splitting, this really does make it easier to review
(at least for me). I think this looks really good, though obviously
I'd like to refactor it slightly on top of my series. :)

One additional thought I had was about the blobs allocations: some are
separate kmem caches, and some are kmalloc. I'm thinking it might make
sense to use separate kmem caches for two reasons:

- they're going to always be the same size and are regularly
allocated/freed, so it may offer a performance benefit.

- they're explicitly not supposed to be exposed to userspace, so
hardened usercopy would protect them if they were not kmalloc()ed.

I'm excited about getting this landed!
