You refer to kmalloc and kfree as keeping object state intact between
kfree and kmalloc, thus not being semantically the same as malloc and
free. However, this is true of kmem_cache_alloc and kmem_cache_free,
not kmalloc and kfree.
Object contents are destroyed between kfree and kmalloc.
As far as kmem_cache_alloc and kmem_cache_free are concerned, would it
work to say that they are like malloc and free, except that if there's
a constructor, it is always called before kmem_cache_alloc returns?
