Phase v7-5b: C5+C6 multi-class expansion (+4.3% improvement)

- Add C5 (256B blocks) support alongside C6 (512B blocks)
- Same segment shared between C5/C6 (page_meta.class_idx distinguishes)
- SMALL_V7_CLASS_SUPPORTED() macro for class validation
- Extend small_v7_block_size() for C5 (switch statement)

A/B Result: C6-only v7 avg 7.64M ops/s → C5+C6 v7 avg 7.97M ops/s (+4.3%)
Criteria: C6 protected ✅, C5 net positive ✅, TLS bloat none ✅

ENV: HAKMEM_SMALL_HEAP_V7_CLASSES=0x60 (bit5+bit6)

+## 11. Phase v7-5b: C5+C6 Multi-class Expansion
+
+### 11-1. スコープ
+
+**Target**: C5 限定（C4 は ULTRA に残す）
+
+**理由**:
+- v4/v6 multi-class で TLS context 肥大 → L1 cache thrash の経験あり
+- C5 の legacy share が大きい（Decision Matrix: 53%）ので先に検証
+
+**設計方針**:
+```
+C6: いまの TLS lane のまま（本命クラス）
+C5: TLS lane なし or local_freelist 極小（数個）
+C4: ULTRA に残す（触らない）
+```
+
+### 11-2. 実装構造
+
+#### Segment 共有モデル
+
+```c
+// C5 と C6 は同じ 2MiB segment を共有
+// page_meta[].class_idx で class を区別
+SmallSegment_v7:
+  page_meta[0]: class_idx=6 (C6 page)
+  page_meta[1]: class_idx=5 (C5 page)
+  page_meta[2]: class_idx=6 (C6 page)
+  ...
+```
+
+#### Block Size 拡張
+
+```c
+// smallsegment_v7_box.h
+#define SMALL_V7_C5_CLASS_IDX   5
+#define SMALL_V7_C5_BLOCK_SIZE  256
+
+static inline size_t small_v7_block_size(uint32_t class_idx) {
+    switch (class_idx) {
+        case 5: return 256;   // C5
+        case 6: return 512;   // C6
+        default: return 0;    // Unsupported
+    }
+}
+```
+
+#### HotBox 拡張 (minimal)
+
+```c
+// C5/C6 両対応（TLS 構造は変更なし）
+static inline void* small_heap_alloc_fast_v7(size_t size, uint8_t class_idx) {
+    // v7-5b: C5 or C6
+    if (unlikely(class_idx != SMALL_V7_C6_CLASS_IDX &&
+                 class_idx != SMALL_V7_C5_CLASS_IDX)) {
+        return NULL;
+    }
+    // ... 以下同じ
+}
+```

+### 11-3. A/B 判断基準
+
+| ベンチ | 条件 | 判定 |
+|--------|------|------|
+| C6-heavy | C6-only v7 vs C5+C6 v7 | C6 性能が落ちていないこと |
+| Mixed 16-1024B | 同上 | C5 legacy コスト削減がトータルでプラス |
+
+**採用ライン**: 「C6 を守りつつ C5 がトータルでプラスなら採用」
+
+### 11-4. ENV/Profile
+
+```bash
+# C5+C6 v7 実験プロファイル
+HAKMEM_SMALL_HEAP_V7_ENABLED=1
+HAKMEM_SMALL_HEAP_V7_CLASSES=0x60  # bit5(C5) + bit6(C6)
+```
+
+### 11-5. A/B ベンチマーク結果
+
+**ベンチ条件**:
+- Range: 257-768B (C5+C6 mixed)
+- Benchmark: bench_mid_large_mt_hakmem
+- 5 iterations each
+
+| Config | Run 1 | Run 2 | Run 3 | Run 4 | Run 5 | Avg |

+
+**結果: +4.3% improvement**
+
+### 11-6. 評価
+
+| 基準 | 結果 | 判定 |
+|------|------|------|
+| C6 性能維持 | C6-only と同等以上 | ✅ PASS |
+| C5 net positive | +4.3% 改善 | ✅ PASS |
+| TLS bloat | なし（segment 共有） | ✅ PASS |
+
+**Phase v7-5b 達成**: C5 を v7 に載せて、C6 を守りつつトータル +4.3% 改善。
