Hi Con,

Any reason that BFS hardcodes CONFIG_SLUB as the only slab allocator 
allowed?  I've cc'd Pekka and Christoph and I'm sure they'd be interested 
in any reasons that CONFIG_SLAB doesn't work correctly with a different 
drop-in scheduler, or is it just that interactivity has tested better with 
slub?
