[Click] Queue Memory Allocation: vmalloc or kmalloc

[rchertov at cs.ucsb.edu]

Not sure on the largest size array that you can allocate in Click, but if
the Queue element complains about the size, you should be able to just link
the packets back to back using "next" defined in the Packet class.  That
will require making a custom element, but it should do the trick.
