It's a completely different design of the core allocator algorithms
really.

It probably looks quite similar because I started with slub.c, but
really is just the peripheral supporting code and structure. I'm never
intending to try to go through the pain of incrementally changing SLUB
into SLQB. If SLQB is found to be a good idea, then it could maybe get
merged.
