Alright, this one is only triggered when slab debugging is enabled. The
slabs are assumed to be aligned on a HUGEPTE_TABLE_SIZE boundary. The free
path makes use of this assumption and uses the lowest nibble to pass around
an index into an array of kmem_cache pointers. With slab debugging turned
on, the slab is still aligned, but the "working" object pointer is not.
This would break the assumption above that a full nibble is available for
the PGF_CACHENUM_MASK.
The following patch reduces PGF_CACHENUM_MASK to cover only the two least
significant bits, which is enough to cover the current number of 4 pgtable
cache types. Then use this constant to mask out the appropriate part of
the huge pte pointer.
