I hate the name, but the macro is far from useless.

It makes the code easier to review and reduces errors by establishing a

still do the old style and create the kmem_cache_create parameter

KMEM_CACHE can do it just by specifying two parameters.
Yes and if you look at existing callers of kmem_cache_create(), you'll
notice that most of them work _exactly_ the way the macro does. Most
of the time you want to use default alignment and not define a
constructor.
