* 'slab-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/penberg/slab-2.6:
  SLUB: Fix per-cpu merge conflict
  failslab: add ability to filter slab caches
  slab: fix regression in touched logic
  dma kmalloc handling fixes
  slub: remove impossible condition
  slab: initialize unused alien cache entry as NULL at alloc_alien_cache().
  SLUB: Make slub statistics use this_cpu_inc
  SLUB: this_cpu: Remove slub kmem_cache fields
  SLUB: Get rid of dynamic DMA kmalloc cache allocation
  SLUB: Use this_cpu operations in slub
