Subject: [GIT PULL] slab fixes for 3.2-rc4

Hi Linus,

Here's few important fixes to SLUB issues introduced in the merge window.

The most important ones are from Christoph Lameter and Eric Dumazet that fix
stability issues on non-x86 architectures. The patches from Shaohua Li fix a
performance regression in SLUB that was also introduced in the merge window.

 			Pekka
