   * On amd64 and ia32 architectures, the kernel now survives a deferred #DB exception during a system call.
   * Generalized the kernel ns16550 driver to work with more chips. Some UART controllers are compatible with 16550A, but have more spacing between registers. In particular, ARMADA 385, which is the basis of Turris Omnia router, has a compatible UART with 32-bit registers instead of 8-bit.
+  * Instead of using plain malloc, the slab allocator now uses a dedicated cache for allocating the per-CPU magazines of caches.
