ida: Use exceptional entries for small IDAs
We can use the root entry as a bitmap and save allocating a 128 byte
bitmap for an IDA that contains only a few entries (30 on a 32-bit
machine, 62 on a 64-bit machine). This costs about 300 bytes of kernel
text on x86-64, so as long as 3 IDAs fall into this category, this
is a net win for memory consumption.
Thanks to Rasmus Villemoes for his work documenting the problem and
collecting statistics on IDAs.
