netdev - [RFC PATCH 1/3] Supporting hacks to be able to test slab allocated buffers in place of page_frag without rewriting lots of net code. We make several assumptions here, first that slab allocator is selected. Second, no one is doing get_page or put_page on pages marked PG_slab. Third we allocated all slabs page aligned that we do these calls on.
