Also, the fix looks rather intrusive. Could we please disable the lockless slub code first and then do everything with proper testing and re-enable the lockless code *after* we know that the alternatives fixup change is robust, etc? That way there's no rush needed. There's a lot of code that could break from tweaking the alternatives code.
