Linus, please consider applying the following patch.

include/linux/malloc.h +0 -5
@@ -1,5 +0,0 @@
-#ifndef _LINUX_MALLOC_H
-#define _LINUX_MALLOC_H
-
-#include <linux/slab.h>
-#endif /* _LINUX_MALLOC_H */

Doing that in the middle of a supposedly stable series, even if it wasn't a fundamentally stupid thing to do in the first place, isn't really very sensible.

It would be much better to add something like this:

#warning "Please use slab.h instead"

The patch above should be put off until the 2.5.
