k and M work for me too. It we were going to be anal then we should
go with the IEC standard of KiB and MiB, but we're trying to make
/proc/slabinfo a little less ugly, and so we have 16 characters to work
with. "dma-kmalloc-256KiB" is 18 characters. The obvious place to lose
two characters is the "iB" which are implicit; we know we're measuring
bytes and the binary nature is assumed in this context of memory bytes
(not storage bytes). "dma-kmalloc-256k" is better.
