What is the significance of knowledge about internal slab structures (such
as the CFGLFS_OFF_SLAB) outside of the allocators?
I want to mask that out in kmem-specific slab creation. Since I am
copying the original flags, and that flag is embedded in the slab saved
flags, it will be carried to the new slab if I don't mask it out.
Alternatively to this, I can tweak slab.c to always mask out this at the
beginning of cache creation, if you so prefer.
