Execbufs involve quite a bit of payload, to the extent that cache misses
show up in the profiles here, and a suspicion that some of those cachelines
may get evicted and then reloaded in the subsequent copy.
This is still abstracted like drm_calloc_large since we want to check for
size overflow, and because we want to choose between kmalloc and vmalloc
on the fly. cairo's interface for malloc-with-calloc's-args was used as
the model.
