And PG_slab is now bit 10?  Whatever...

I've written a new PG_slab_flag_init() function that looks at
the contents of the venerable old "vm_area_cachep" pointer
(there since 2.2), which by definition will have a kmalloc'd
address whose associated page struct flags will contain just
the PG_slab bit.  It covers all bases.

Thanks,
  Dave
