The guest has 512MB assigned to it and it worked fine with:
- SLAB without DEBUG_SLAB
- SLUB with and without DEBUG_SLUB

It ooms with:
- SLAB with DEBUG_SLAB

With 1024MB assigned it seems to boot fine in all cases, so it seems DEBUG_SLAB 
is quite memory consuming when it fails in the first second of boot on 512MB.
