Use a plain array for any group ID that's less than 64, and punt anything beyond that to an xarray. 64 fits in a page even for 4KB page sizes and with the planned additions. This makes the expected group usage faster by avoiding a hash and lookup to find our list, and it uses less memory upfront by not allocating any memory for provided buffers unless it's actually being used.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
