Subject: [GIT PULL] SLAB changes for v3.13

Hi Linus,

Please pull the latest SLAB tree from:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/penberg/linux.git slab/next

The patches from Joonsoo Kim switch mm/slab.c to use 'struct page' for slab
internals similar to mm/slub.c.  This reduces memory usage and improves
performance:

Rest of the changes are bug fixes from various people.

			Pekka
