I thought the SLAB_AVAILABLE_FLAGS would stand for something meaningful
like the flags supported by an allocator given a kernel config. F.e. SLUB
does not support the debug flags if not compiled with debug.

This looks like it could become material that would fit in mm/slab.h.
There are sets of flags that all allocators have to support (RCU, DMA etc)
and others (like the debug flags) that are optional.

Slob also supports some flags but never any of the debug flags.
