hm, why the "RFC"?  These patches look more mature than most of the
stuff I get ;)

You should have cc'ed linux-mm on these patches: nobody will have
noticed them.

slabinfo is documented a bit in Documentation/vm/slub.txt.  Please
review that file for accuracy and completeness.  It should at least
draw readers' attention to the new tools/vm/slabinfo-gnuplot.sh.

Thank you, sir.

I wasn't so sure about the gnuplot script, that's why I added RFC.

I should have done that, my bad.
`./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f tools/vm/' confused me.
