The maintainers last patch to SLOB was the initial submission of the
allocator. Then he acked subsequent patches. Most of the modifications to
SLOB are my work. Attempts to talk to the maintainer result in inventive
explanations why SLOB does not have to conform to kernel standards. There
is no reasonable expectation that this will change.
