Yes please. The code is somewhat noisy on the debugging side.

Not acceptable for mainline kernel. SLAB already provides leak
detection and it should be straight-forward to port over to SLUB too.

If you need this, please make it a standalone module in mm/.

It's probably better to use the page allocator for this.

Please kill these wrappers and use BUG_ON, WARN_ON, and printk() where
appropriate.
