I've picked [1] and tested this patch series and it passed a simple MM
& slab test
in 30 different SLUB configurations [2].

Also there's code coverage information [3] if you're interested :P

For the series,
Tested-by: Hyeonggon Yoo <42.hyeyoo@xxxxxxxxx>

Will review when I have free time ;)
Thanks!
