hm, this is already in Paul's git tree.

If we're going to slam all this into 2.6.22 then I can just tempdrop Paul's
tree.

However I think we've done enough slab work for 2.6.22 now so I'm inclined
to queue these changes for 2.6.23. That would mean that the slab changes in
-mm have a dependency on the sh git tree which I am sure to forget about.
If I end up merging these changes before Paul merges his tree, sh will
break. Presumably Paul will notice this ;)
