Hmm, alloc_slabmgmt calls kmem_cache_alloc with interrupts disabled
which triggers the warning. We won't deadlock though as we enable
interrupts in kmem_getpages in case we need to refill
cachep->slabp_cache. So the debug check is bogus when calling
kmem_cache_alloc within the slab allocator, I think.

I'll whack it some more and resend. Thanks Andrew!
