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

* 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
- * wasted between items due to alignment problems. This may yield a much better
- * memory footprint for certain sizes of objects. Another alternative is to
- * increase the UMA_SLAB_SIZE, or allow for dynamic slab sizes. I prefer
- * dynamic slab sizes because we could stick with 8 bit indices and only use
- * large slab sizes for zones with a lot of waste per slab. This may create

* The only really gross cases, with regards to memory waste, are for those
* items that are just over half the page size. You can get nearly 50% waste,
* so you fall back to the memory footprint of the power of two allocator. I
