The verdict is still quite out on SLAB vs the other allocators. But
regardless, they'll all have the same interface. And that interface
no longer accepts a destructor function. We might as well get used
to it.
Regarding us wasting our time with these pre-release kernels.
Agreed it's a major pain to deal with, and we don't want to waste
time adapting to the daily changes in linux, especially as
reversions are not completely uncommon. But for modifications that
are likely to stick, including the previous slab one mvdv ran into
at compile time, it's a question of fix it now or fix it later.
We could always just dump the code and go with the fuse version. :)
