Obviously I agree with you.  I'm inclined to not let that delay Kees'
patches; we can fix the few places that use this API later.  At this
point, my proposal for the ultimate form would be:

struct kmem_cache_attr {
	const char name[32];
	void (*ctor)(void *);
	unsigned int useroffset;
	unsigned int user_size; 
};

kmem_create_cache_attr(const struct kmem_cache_attr *attr, unsigned int size,
			unsigned int align, slab_flags_t flags)

(my rationale is that everything in attr should be const, but size, align
and flags all get modified by the slab code).
