I hope SLUB won't return you a non-cacheline-aligned pointer after that you removed SMP_CACHE_ALIGN(sizeof_priv), right? Olek

Currently the slab will do power-of-2 alignment (i.e. aligned to the bucket size), so this should be fine. In the future I'm trying to make the slab more aware of the required alignments so that it can still provide needed alignment without having to do maximal (power-of-2) alignments.
