I don't think we can drop the cast of ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN, or not without
a wander through all the architectures: it could well be defined as a bare
integer in some of them, even if the default definition as __alignof__
comes out as an unsigned long (which itself surprised me).

I could make it an unsigned long cast, and change the %d to %lu,
but there doesn't seem to be any real point to doing so.
