Subject: [PATCH 1/7] slab: infrastructure for bulk object allocation and
 freeing

From: Christoph Lameter <cl@...ux.com>

[NOTICE: Already in AKPM's quilt-queue]

Add the basic infrastructure for alloc/free operations on pointer arrays.
It includes a generic function in the common slab code that is used in
this infrastructure patch to create the unoptimized functionality for slab
bulk operations.

Allocators can then provide optimized allocation functions for situations
in which large numbers of objects are needed.  These optimization may
avoid taking locks repeatedly and bypass metadata creation if all objects
in slab pages can be used to provide the objects required.

Allocators can extend the skeletons provided and add their own code to the
bulk alloc and free functions.  They can keep the generic allocation and
freeing and just fall back to those if optimizations would not work (like
for example when debugging is on).
