Hi David,

	This series addresses Christoph and Jean concerns about the overhead
caused by private slab caches in every family, by making sk_alloc use kmalloc
if no slab cache is used, and as a transitional mechanism the zero_it
semantic is maintained, that is, if slab is NULL and zero_it is 1, use the
generic "slab" (sk_cachep) cache.

	Now only the ham radio protocols (AX25, NETROM and ROSE) and
net/wanrouter uses sk_protinfo to store an private area directly, and
bluetooth uses it as a second level for proto info while using a
private slab cache for the first level of proto info.

	This series has atm and pppox in addition to the set of families
covered in the first series.

	Available at:

Best Regards,

- Arnaldo
