Linux kmem_cache + plugins

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The following patches add an easy kmem_cache interface.  I've also written some 
plugins to show how to use it.  Slab only for now.  Slub coming soon.

The plugin patches obviously depend on the kmem_cache patch.

I will take care of getting this one in. Some of the slab walking stuff is 
based on the old slab code we had and the new stuff Joe went through it with me 
before putting it all together so its pretty close to how we want it. 

I will make some minor changes, such as fixing the inheriting in pslist_cache 
and the register_options call before committing.

Didn't catch all the dead code.  

Here are the updated patches that need to be run.
