Is it a good idea for all kmem_cache_t? If so, can we move

Yes, I suppose that's worthwhile.
We've been shuffling towards removing kmem_cache_t in favour of `struct
kmem_cache', but this is an argument against doing that.
If we can work out how:
void foo()
{
kmem_cache_t *p;
}
That'll barf.
Mmm. And the structure within structure, which Eric points out. I assumed
without grepping that those were mostly confined to slab itself and would
be easy to special case, but it turns out networking makes some use of
them too.
