probably only for "dlm_cb" that turns into "dlm_callback". The only
place for me would be /proc/slabinfo, but I usually do `cat
/proc/slabinfo | grep dlm` to get an overview. If you are very strict
and "/proc/slabinfo" is not just "debugging" only and allowed to be
screen scraped (which I don't believe) it might can indeed break some
userspace applications.
