I think the patch looked fine. And limiting the printout to perhaps
just two names (+ "..." if you have more) would work for me. At least
at that point the output of /proc/slabinfo is no longer misleading and
_incorrect_, it's just "incomplete" (and at that point the whole "you
can get the full information from /sys" is a valid argument)
