This isn't a very informative [0/n] changelog.  Some overall summary of
the patchset's objective, behaviour, use cases, testing results, etc.

I'm seeing significant conflicts with Kirill's "Improve shrink_slab()
scalability (old complexity was O(n^2), new is O(n))" series, which I
merged eight milliseconds ago.  Kirill's patchset is large but fairly
straightforward so I expect it's good for 4.18.  So I suggest we leave
things a week or more then please take a look at redoing this patchset
on top of that work?
