>       mm, slab_common: Fix bootstrap creation of kmalloc caches

This one seems to cause a regression for me on at least arm omap
and vexpress that depends on some kconfig option I have not been
able to figure out yet. Reverting 8a965b3b fixes the issue.

Any ideas?

Without reverting 8a965b3b I'm getting:
