Subject: [GIT PULL] slab changes for v3.2

Hi Linus,

Please pull the latest slab tree from:

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/penberg/linux.git slab/for-linus

There's fixes, optimizations, and cleanups in the tree. The most interesting
ones are:

   - SLUB per-CPU partial list optimization from Christoph Lameter

   - /proc/slabinfo access restriction from Vasiliy Kulikov

Please note that the latter changes ABI to require root access that was agreed
to by almost everybody.

 			Pekka
