SLUB, SLOB, and SLQB are all different varients of slab allocators and can
be chosen as a replacement for SLAB. SLUB gets the most attention these
days and is the upstream default. SLOB is typically used for embedded
devices and those that require a small memory footprint. SLQB was a
development allocator that I believe has been abandoned.
