[SLUB 3/3] Guarantee minimum number of objects in a slab
Guarantee a mininum number of objects per slab
The number of objects per slab is important for SLUB because it determines
the number of allocations that can be performed without having to consult
per node slab lists. Add another boot option "min_objects=xx" that
allows the configuration of the objects per slab. This is similar
to SLABS queue configurations.
Set the default of objects to 4. This will increase the page order for
certain slab objects.
