[PATCH 1/3] bootmem: use slab if bootmem is no longer available

[Pekka J Enberg <penberg@cs.helsinki.fi>]

From: Pekka Enberg <penberg@cs.helsinki.fi>

As a preparation for initializing the slab allocator early, make sure the
bootmem allocator does not crash and burn if someone calls it after slab is up;
otherwise we'd need a flag day for switching to early slab.
