   Allocating it at first lookup would be racy (would need a nasty
   spinlock at least). It may be possible at first policy setup, but
   it's not guaranteed you can still get two 32K continuous areas. You
   could fall back to vmalloc I guess.

Andi, you're getting rediculious.  Add a xfrm_whatever_init() call
and allocate the table there.

Did you actually read what I wrote? Allocating on init is useless
from the bloat perspective because it's 100% equivalent to an BSS 
allocation.
