I ran slub/lockless through some stress testing and it seems to be quite
stable on my testing cluster. There is about a 2.3% performance
improvement with the lockless slowpath on the netperf benchmark with
various thread counts on my 16-core 64GB Opterons, so I'd recommend it to
be merged into 3.1.
