[patch 8/9] slab - Add *_mempool slab variants

[Matthew Dobson]

plain text document attachment (critical_mempools)
Support for using a single mempool as a critical pool for all slab allocations.

This patch adds *_mempool variants to the existing slab allocator API functions:
kmalloc_mempool(), kmalloc_node_mempool(), kmem_cache_alloc_mempool() &
kmem_cache_alloc_node_mempool().  These functions behave the same as their
non-mempool cousins, but they take an additional mempool_t argument.

This patch does not actually USE the mempool_t argument, but simply adds the
function calls.  The next patch in the series will add code to use the
mempools.  This patch should have no externally visible changes to existing
users of the slab allocator.
