Of course, the right option name is slub_nomerge

vi +2293 Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt

        slub_nomerge    [MM, SLUB]
                        Disable merging of slabs with similar size. May be
                        necessary if there is some reason to distinguish
                        allocs to different slabs. Debug options disable
                        merging on their own.
                        For more information see Documentation/vm/slub.txt.
