The reason I say it is orthogonal, is that people will still want to see
their caches in /proc/slabinfo, regardless of wherever else they'll be.
It was a requirement from Pekka in one of the first times I posted this,
IIRC.

They want to see total counts there true. But as I said we already have a
duplication of the statistics otherwise. We have never done the scheme
that you propose. That is unexpected. I would not expect the numbers to be
there.

I myself personally believe it can potentially clutter slabinfo, and
won't put my energy in defending the current implementation. What I
don't want is to keep switching between implementations.

Pekka, Tejun, what do you guys say here?
