Subject: [GIT PULL] SLAB updates for 2.6.36-rc0

Hi Linus,

There's dramatic queued up for this merge window for SLAB. Bulk of the
changes are straight-forward SLUB cleanups from Christoph Lameter's
recent SLAB/SLUB unification patch series but there's also few SLAB
and SLOB fixes thrown into the mix.

                        Pekka
