Well, not for these traces, no. The trace contains __slab_alloc() in the
call chain, which definitely fingers SLUB, not slab, despite the name
(slab calls its allocation routines "cache_alloc", while slub calls them
"slab_alloc" ;)
So the patch looks fine, and I applied it, but as Mel already mentioned,
it looks like it won't be making any difference for Alexander.
