Hi Manfred, Andrew,

I'm helping out Greg in getting the core uClinux bits merged
and managed to get most stuff real non-intrusive.  There's one
thing I'd like to have a few comments on, that's the maximum
allowed allocation size in the slab allocator.  uClinux (aka
the mmuless ports, the uClinux get a bit strange now that it's
partially merged) don't support vmalloc naturally and thus need
much large slab size, there's also an option to allow even
large ones.  Are the ifdefs in the below patch okay, or should
we rather have an asm/ header for this?
