Subject: [GIT PULL] SLAB updates for 2.6.37-rc1

Hi Linus,

The bulk of changes here are from Christoph Lameter's SLUB unification 
patch series. I've included SLUB cleanups that don't change the core 
allocator and hope to queue the more interesting patches for 2.6.38. 
There's also bug fixes and other cleanups included here from David 
Rientjes and Namhyung Kim.

The SLUB patches were built on Tejun Heo's UP per-CPU patches which is why 
they show up in the pull request although you already have them in 
master.

                         Pekka
