I have two problems with your patch:
First, there will be a slub/slab specific mechanism for debug code controlled by a parameter in the Makefile plus the common CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL approach used by most other debug options. We need one approach for all options.
And your approach could easily result in code paths never tested in -mm or -rc kernels exploding in the actual release.
