They wanted it to depend on actual HW capability / kernel parameter, see
d949a8155d13 ("mm: make minimum slab alignment a runtime property")
Also Catalin's commit referenced above was part of the series that made the
alignment more dynamic for other cases IIRC. So I doubt we can simply reduce
it back to a build-time constant.
