It was me who missed the merge window - sorry about that. But is there
really any real need to push this through at such late stage? People
will work on "slab/next" branch anyway so what's the rush?

We had quite a lot of changes due to slab memcg and I'd rather keep
things calm for this release cycle. It usually takes a few cycles for
people to start noticing problems and it doesn't really help if
there's code churn going on all the time.
