Thanks for your reply. I'm not sure if I am following your idea. Would you
mean to simply replace the string like:

                kmalloc_caches[1] = create_kmalloc_cache(
                                        kmalloc_names[1], 96, flags);
as follows:

                kmalloc_caches[1] = create_kmalloc_cache(
                                        kmalloc_names[1],
                                        kstrtoul(kmalloc_names[i] + 8),
                                        flags);

or if you like to merge the last 2 if conditions for 96 and 192 cases to
the first if condition check:

                if (!kmalloc_caches[i]) {
                        kmalloc_caches[i] = create_kmalloc_cache(NULL,
                                                        1 << i, flags);
                }
