Sure, but there is nothing wrong with using a slab page with a lower
allocation rank when there is memory aplenty. 

What does "a slab page with a lower allocation rank" mean? Slab pages have 
no allocation ranks that I am aware of.

I just added allocation rank and didn't you suggest tracking it for all
slab pages instead of per slab?

Yes but that is not in place so I was wondering what you were talking 
about. It would help to have some longer text describing what you intend 
to do and how rank would work throughout the VM.
