Sure you can get the code.  For now the test is fairly simple, will
expand later. I have made a branch "mm_bulk_api" to avoid
people using my repo getting compile errors (due to API not merged).

Git repo[1] branch "mm_bulk_api":
 [1] https://github.com/netoptimizer/prototype-kernel/

The test kernel module is called "slab_bulk_test01", located under
kernel/mm/slab_bulk_test01.c [2].
