I was going to mention that as an idea, but I thought storing the metadata
for certain debugging features might differ from the two allocators so

We could have some callbacks to store allocator specific metadata?

It depends on whether we could share the same base for both slab (unified

Argh. Why would we want to introduce something that's effectively a new
allocator based on SLUB? If there's something controversial in the
current patch series, lets just keep it out of mainline. A "rewrite" is
the reason we're in this mess so lets not repeat the same mistake again!
