* Can sensibly sit in any pso from size class 6 upwards. However, it's often
* considered a good thing to have a prime number of buckets in a hash table.
* Our total overhead on the full object size is two words header, and, for
* namespaces, one word for the pointer to the (optional) hash function,
* one for the number of buckets, one for the pointer to the write ACL, one
* for the pointer to the mutex, total six.
*
* There are no really good fits until you get up to class 9, which might
* make sense for some namespaces, but it's quite large!
*
* | size class | words | less overhead | nearest prime | wasted |
* | ---------- | ----- | ------------- | ------------- | ------ |
* | 5 | 32 | 26 | 23 | 3 |
* | 6 | 64 | 58 | 53 | 5 |
* | 7 | 128 | 122 | 113 | 9 |
* | 8 | 256 | 250 | 241 | 9 |
* | 9 | 512 | 506 | 503 | 3 |
* | 10 | 1024 | 1018 | 1013 | 5 |
*
* Although it may be *better* to have prime numbers of buckets, how much
* better is it? Is a bucket with 23 slots sufficiently better than one
* with 26 slots to make up for its inevitably-longer hash buckets?
