Yes. Other large allocations that are done directly via __get_free_pages()
etc also do not show up there. Slab allocators are intended for small
allocation and are not effective for large scale allocs. People will
use multiple different ways of acquiring large memory areas. So there is
no consistent accounting for that memory.
