nixos/hardened profile: slab/slub hardening
slab_nomerge may reduce surface somewhat

slub_debug is used to enable additional sanity checks and "red zones" around
allocations to detect read/writes beyond the allocated area, as well as
poisoning to overwrite free'd data.

The cost is yet more memory fragmentation ...
