    mm/sl[aou]b: Move kmallocXXX functions to common code · f1b6eb6e
    Christoph Lameter authored
    The kmalloc* functions of all slab allcoators are similar now so
    lets move them into slab.h. This requires some function naming changes
    in slob.
    
    As a results of this patch there is a common set of functions for
    all allocators. Also means that kmalloc_large() is now available
    in general to perform large order allocations that go directly
    via the page allocator. kmalloc_large() can be substituted if
    kmalloc() throws warnings because of too large allocations.
    
    kmalloc_large() has exactly the same semantics as kmalloc but
    can only used for allocations > PAGE_SIZE.
