Re: [patch] slab: always follow arch requested alignments

Your patch only deals with ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN. kmem_cache_create() never
uses ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN only kmem_cache_init() does by passing it to
kmem_cache_create.  ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN will still be ignored.

Yes, in which case the caller mandated align will be, well,
ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN. The patch changes kmem_cache_create to respect
caller mandated alignment too.
