Sorry for the delay, I've finally had time to look at this again.

So, this only handles the kfree() case, not the kmem_cache_free() nor
kmem_cache_free_bulk() cases, so it misses all the non-kmalloc
allocations (and kfree() ultimately calls down to kmem_cache_free()).
Similarly, my proposed patch missed the kfree() path. :P

As I work on a replacement, is the goal to avoid the checks while
under local_irq_save()? (i.e. I can't just put the check in
virt_to_cache(), etc.)

yes

You would have to check all callers of virt_to_cache. I would simply
replace BUG_ON(!PageSlab()) in cache_from_obj. kmem_cache_free already
handles NULL cache. kmem_cache_free_bulk and build_detached_freelist can
be made to do so.
