Take a look at slab-01.diff.gz (and slab-0.1.readme), in ftp://ftp.lmh.ox.ac.uk/linux-kernel-patch-archive. While this patch isn't specifically designed to improve the speed of get_empty_filp(), I think it may do (slightly).
WARNING: The patch is v. much developement code, so think twice (and then think again) before applying it to a production system!!!!
