You'd only save a single test_bit() ... is it really worth doing?
Cache misses are the expensive thing, not instructions. And debugging
time: if somehow p[i] becomes not-on-a-slab-anymore, getting a NULL
pointer splat here before we go any further might be worth all the CPU
time wasted doing that test_bit().
