[GIT PULL] SLUB/SLAB/SLOB updates for 2.6.27

[Pekka J Enberg]

Hi Linus,

Please pull the latest SLAB git tree from:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/penberg/slab-2.6.git for-linus

The changes include unexporting of the ksize() API and addition of per-cache
sizing of partial lists for SLUB that nail down a ~1% regression wrt. SLAB for
a syntentic "netio" fio benchmark.

                Pekka
