While the goal of slab_common.c is to have a common place for all
allocators, we face two different goals that are in opposition to each
other:
1) Have the different layouts be the business of each allocator, in
their .c
2) inline as much as we can for fast paths
Because of that, we either have to move all the entry points to the
mm/slab.h and rely heavily on the pre-processor, or include all .c files
in here.
The pre-processor solution has the disadvantage that some quite
non-trivial code gets even more non-trivial, and we end up leaving for
readers a non-pleasant indirection.
To keep this sane, we'll include the allocators .c files in here. Which
means we will be able to inline any code they produced, but never the
other way around!
Doing this produced a name clash. This was resolved in this patch
itself.
