SLUB: i386 support

SLUB cannot run on i386 at this point because i386 uses the page->private and
page->index field of slab pages for the pgd cache.

Make SLUB run on i386 by replacing the pgd slab cache with a quicklist.
Limit the changes as much as possible. Leave the improvised linked list in place
etc etc. This has been working here for a couple of weeks now.
