    Kernel slides: improve allocators details
    
    - Removed the references to 2.6.x
    - SLAB is still used on most ARM platforms

     a SLAB allocator in the Linux kernel. A particular implementation

+    \item SLUB: more recent and simpler than
       SLAB, scaling much better (in particular for huge systems) and
-      creating less fragmentation.
