You could do something like

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

here, and remove those weird "96" and "192" cases.

Or if that's considered too messy, make it

        static const struct {
                const char *name;
                unsigned size;
        } kmalloc_cache_info[] = {
                { NULL, 0 },
                { "kmalloc-96", 96 },
                ...
        };

but I'm thinking the kstrtoul() trick will be OK.

slab_kmem_cache_release() still does kfree_const(s->name).  It will
crash?
