	Question: Do you want to support an assortment of mainline
kernels, or only "2.6.32" and "2.6.18-el"?  Because there are a number
of slab things that happened.  I'm not sure which all apply to el5
anymore.  Not only did the destructor go away, so did the flag
SLAB_CTOR_VERIFY, and the init_once constructors changed prototype.
	Here was my solution:

(Note that there are a couple of later commits to fix typos)
