I can't seem to find kmalloc_no_account() in this patch or may be
I missed it in a previous one?

Why this space for "dead" ? I can't seem to find a reference to that in
the kernel. Is it something I'm missing because of my lack of slab knowledge
or is it something needed in a further patch? In which case this should be
explained in the changelog.
