/**
 * DOC: Slabs
 *
 * Slabs are collections of memory blocks of a fixed size.
 * They support very fast allocation and freeing of such blocks, prevent memory
 * fragmentation and optimize L2 cache usage. Slabs have been invented by Jeff Bonwick
 * and published in USENIX proceedings as `The Slab Allocator: An Object-Caching Kernel
 * Memory Allocator'. Our implementation follows this article except that we don't use
 * constructors and destructors.
 *
 * When the |DEBUGGING| switch is turned on, we automatically fill all
 * newly allocated and freed blocks with a special pattern to make detection
 * of use of uninitialized or already freed memory easier.
 *
 * Example: Nodes of a FIB are allocated from a per-FIB Slab.
