Please define your 'right' behavior ;-)

If we need to discuss 'right' thing, we also need to define how behavior
is right, I think. slab API itself don't have zone taste. but it implictly 
depend on a zone because buddy and reclaim are constructed on zones and 
slab is constructed on buddy. IOW, every slab object have a home zone.

So, which workload or usecause make a your head pain?
