Subject: Re: [RT LATENCY] 249 microsecond latency caused by slub's
 unfreeze_partials() code.

This patch requires the earlier bug fix.


Subject: slub: Make cpu partial slab support configurable

cpu partial support can introduce level of indeterminism that is not wanted
in certain context (like a realtime kernel). Make it configurable.
