Impressive Christoph. Indeed, this fixes my problem on latest -git (its hg
equivalent :-)). Well done.

(Tested with CONFIG_SLAB_DEBUG without slub_debug; all was well. Then with
slub_debug & slabinfo -v also; again all was well. I had many LOCKDEP and its
relatives also compiled in.)

Now hoping it'll be in 2.6.22-rc3 :-)).
