I used to have a patch that implemented a /sysfs/slab/ layer, where you could get all of the /proc/slabinfo information via sysfs conveniently. Sadly, it went to wherever bad harddisks go when they die. Since I need it for a different endeavour, I'll ressurect it eventually. That should make the parsing in slabinfo a lot simpler.
