Is it possible to separate these two features into two different patch sets. I would like to apply the softirq changes first, and then apply the slub changes.
Although it looks as though the first half is softirq only 1-8, and the second half is slub related 9-16. If that's the case, I'll just pull in 1-8 first, play with them, and then do 9-16.
Thanks,
