What is the correct way of interpreting slabinfo? Quick summary from a
mm guru? What do the two cols mean?

Is this slabinfo gonna be usefull to fixing/diagnosing the current mm
problems? Perhaps someone would like to collect a bunch of them (off
list) and summarize?

I also have a test machine I can boot with mem=whatever and test if
anyone wants me to.
