So I previously acked this patch, but you dropped that, so now you get
more words.
Why not go all the way and move all allocations we do in i915 to this
slab (adding a flag with whether or not to zero the memory first)? While
I agree in terms of space, nothing takes up as much as objects, I think
it would be nice to do this so we can totally track what our driver is
doing. In fact I would suggest this is something which core drm should
provide to all of the drivers (we already use drm_alloc calls in some
places).
Anyway, it's still:
