Besides code cleanup, the main immediate benefit will be allowing kfree() family of function to work on kmem_cache_alloc() objects (Patch 7), which was incompatible with SLOB. This includes kfree_rcu() so I've updated the comment there to remove the mention of potential future addition of kmem_cache_free_rcu() as there should be no need for that now. Otherwise it's straightforward. Patch 2 is a cleanup in net area, that I can either handle in slab tree or submit in net after SLOB is removed. Another cleanup in tomoyo is already in the tomoyo tree as that didn't need to wait until SLOB removal.
