Yes, it's used in "mm: memcg/slab: charge individual slab objects instead of pages".

It's a fairly large patchset with many internal dependencies, so there is
always a trade-off between putting everything into a single patch, which is
hard to review, and splitting out some changes, which make not much sense
without seeing the whole picture.

In this particular case splitting out a formal and easy-to-verify change makes
the actual non-trivial patch smaller and hopefully easier for a review.

But of course it's all subjective.

Thanks!
