This, alongside with all other data dumped in OOM events, is very helpful
information in diagnosing why there was an OOM condition specially when
kernel code is under investigation.

Makes sense. Do you have an example how an out-of-memory slab cache
dump looks like?
Yes I do have a couple of dumps taken from some dabbler testing I was
performing. Would it be interesting to introduce a sample at the commit message, or
among the Documentation paragraphs?

Minor style nit: just define the zeroed variables in this block.
I will adjust those.

Thanks for your feedback!
