This BUG() has been been removed in the later -ac patches as it was meant
to be a temporary debugging help during the -test3 slab.c changes. This
does not however remove the constraint that kmalloc can only allocate a
maximum of 128KB. How you solve this will depend what you want to use the
memory for.
