Re: [patch 2/2] slab: always consider arch mandated alignment

A slab user is setting alignment in order to optimize performance not for correctness. Most users that I know of can live with misalignments. If that would not be the case then this code would never have worked.

Which users do you know that set align and that can live with misalignments?
As I wrote, there are no such users in my (i386) kernel.
