Subject: Where is the SLAM (a mutable slab allocator) development happening?

Hi,

while looking through the program of LPC, I have seen a proposal for a
talk called "SLAM: a mutable slab allocator" [1].

As there was no reference given to the code-base, I went searching on
the Wild Wild Web and found a thread called "[UnifiedV4 00/16] The
Unified slab allocator (V4)" posted to LKML.
It looks to me that these patches went to Pekka's slab/for-next GIT-branch [2].
I am not sure if this is "SLAM".

[1] says:
"I have worked as a kernel developer at Google for 3 1/2 years...",
not sure if David Rientjes email-address at Google is still valid,
thus I am sending my request to slab ML and Mainrtainers.

Can someone say where to get more informations on SLAM?
The commits in slab/for-next look also interesting to me, can someone
give an overview what can be expected in 2.6.38?
(I would give linux-next a try).

Thanks in advance for answering my questions.

Kind Regards,
