Yup, I'm putting it in linux-next to see if anything pops up. It's of
course possible that it will introduce regression somewhere but seeing
the hit SLUB is taking from the page allocator, I'm bound to think that
performance increase claims of commit

page size or higher kmalloc requests") don't hold anymore.
