Linux does not use Change IDs.  Please omit these from future patches.

Panicing is a very unfriendly approach.  I think a better approach would
be to freeze the slab where corruption is detected.  That is, no future
objects are allocated from that slab, and attempts to free objects from
that slab become no-ops.  I don't think that should be hard to implement.
