I do see your point but surely we don't want to use order 1 allocations
in the fall-back case for kmalloc-4096? Couldn't we just add a printk
saying that debug was disabled for the cache? After all, my patch is
much better than what SLAB does.

True. Larry, do you have CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON enabled or are you passing
SLUB debugging options to the kernel?
