Unless there is a brave soul to reimplement the kmemleak to embed it's metadata into the tracked memory itself in a foreseeable future, this provides a good balance between enabling kmemleak in a low-memory situation and not introducing too much hackiness into the existing code for now.
Unfortunately I am not that brave soul, but I'm wondering what the complication here is? It shouldn't be too hard to teach calculate_sizes() in SLUB about a new SLAB_KMEMLEAK flag that reserves spaces for the metadata.
