OK .. I will create a 4.9.39 kernel with slub off and slab on later
today.  The only change I will make is to also turn slab_debug on (it
will add things to the debuginfo file that Sarah created for the kernels).

WRT the other items in the kernel (modules or compiled directly), I
would rather leave everything else alone as it is how the Red Hat
kernels seem to be done .. unless someone has them actually causing a
problem.
