Damn, and I just prepared the following patch.  Should I, instead, do

... because the original slab code uses an unsigned int.  To fix it
the other way (for SLAB_ flags only) is a patch like this:

Subject: [PATCH 01/11] mm: Make SLAB_* flags consistently 32-bit unsigned int.

The type of "unsigned long" is silly for a portable flags field, because
you can't portably use more than 32 bits, but it takes 64 bits on 64-bit
processors.  And 32-bit manipulations are never slower than 64-bit ones.

Also, include/slab_def.h has always used an "unsigned int" flags field.
This just updates the other implementations to do the same.
(EXCEPTION: SLOB structure must match "struct page".)
