I've made the red-zoning, and object poisioning, more reliable and on by
default for the general-size caches. This should help catch any mis-uses
of slab allocated memory.
Unfortunately, it will not say who is mis-behaving, but it is at least a
start. Look for warnings in your message log file.

It is a simple drop-in replacement for mm/slab.c. Should work for kernels
2.1.38->2.1.41
Note: This has had only a small amount of testing, and will _slow_ your
system down. Only use if you think you may have a memory problem.
