Hm yeah we could change it to CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG. I deleted it because I
didn't think "valid" was the right word, they are always valid (part of
SLAB_FLAGS_PERMITTED thus not returning -EINVAL on cache creation), but they
would be no-op (not part of CACHE_CREATE_MASK) without CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG.

So we coould change it to e.g.
"The ones marked DEBUG are ignored unless CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG is enabled" ?
