[RFC,09/14] mm/slub: add the slab freelists to kmem_cache
Commit Message
From: Jann Horn <jannh@google.com>
With SLAB_VIRTUAL enabled, unused slabs which still have virtual memory
allocated to them but no physical memory are kept in a per-cache list so
that they can be reused later if the cache needs to grow again.

Looks appropriately #ifdef'ed...
