Subject: Re: 2.6.21-mm1

The SLUB code introduces the config segment below to stop SLUB being
used on powerpc:

    config ARCH_USES_SLAB_PAGE_STRUCT
       bool
       default y
       depends on SPLIT_PTLOCK_CPUS <= NR_CPUS

However as far as I can kconfig has no support for operators other than
==, !=, &&, and ||.  Who can say why we do not get an error.

Cirtainly in my testing this simply never triggers and bad kernels result.

Thoughts?
