    I have two problems with your patch:

    First, there will be a slub/slab specific mechanism for debug code
    controlled by a parameter in the Makefile plus the common
    CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL approach used by most other debug options.
    We need one approach for all options.

    And your approach could easily result in code paths never tested in
    -mm or -rc kernels exploding in the actual release.
