Ah pete! thanks for the clarification. I was looking at 2.6.21 hoping
that that would be the latest.
It does look like a new ish kernel feature. I am sorta out of the loop
on the newest kernel issues :(
Let me look at the code a little bit and work on a patch and send it
later today.
Basically, SLAB is deprecated. We need to find out an alternate way/interface.
thanks!

Actually latest kernels don't allow a dtor at all. Rev
c59def9f222d44bb7e2f0a559f2906191a0862d7 for those playing
along at home.
We use dtors for the inode cache and devreq cache. But it's not
obivous to me how to move that functionality elsewhere, at a quick
glance. Maybe you'll know?
