max number of slabs per kernel module (kernel 2.6.17, suse)

Is there a max number of slabs that can be used per kernel module? I'm having a tough time finding out that kind of information, but the array 'node_zonelists' (mmzone.h) has a size of 5. I just want to avoid buffer overruns and other bad stuff.

Cheers,
Brendan
