One step at a time. The slob approach is a bit different, doesn't
generate kmalloc-* caches, so I did not look at it yet. Also based on
Vlastimil's email, there is some reworking going on in there already.

Does it? The point of the #undef above was precisely to make sure
ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN stays the same as ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN when
CONFIG_SLOB is enabled.
