- noaliencache [MM, NUMA] Disables the allcoation of alien caches in
- the slab allocator. Saves per-node memory, but will
- impact performance on real NUMA hardware.

+ when not in use. Also tracks the last alloc / free.
+ For more information see Documentation/vm/slub.txt.
+

+ Determines the mininum page order for slabs. Must be
+ lower than slub_max_order
+ For more information see Documentation/vm/slub.txt.
