Log:
  Since r251709 a slab no longer use 8-bit indicies to manage items,
  thus remove a stale comment.

  * 10% memory waste we potentially allocate a separate uma_slab_t if this will

- * Other potential space optimizations are storing the 8bit of linkage in space

  * The only really gross cases, with regards to memory waste, are for those

  * so you fall back to the memory footprint of the power of two allocator. I
