Yes, it's used in "mm: memcg/slab: charge individual slab objects instead of pages". It's a fairly large patchset with many internal dependencies, so there is always a trade-off between putting everything into a single patch, which is hard to review, and splitting out some changes, which make not much sense without seeing the whole picture. In this particular case splitting out a formal and easy-to-verify change makes the actual non-trivial patch smaller and hopefully easier for a review. But of course it's all subjective. Thanks!
