Hi Linus, Here's batch of slab/slub/slob changes accumulated over the past few months. The biggest changes are alignment unification from Christoph Lameter and SLUB debugging improvements from Ben Greear. Also notable is SLAB 'struct kmem_cache' shrinkage from Eric Dumazet that helps large SMP systems. Please note that the SLUB lockless slowpath patches will be sent in a separate pull request.
