SLAB uses orders 0-1. Order is fixed per slab cache and determined based
on object size at slab creation.

SLUB uses orders 0-3. Falls back to smallest order if alloc order cannot
be met by the page allocator.

One can reduce SLUB to SLAB orders by specifying the following kernel
commandline parameter:

slub_max_order=1
