创建新的缓存必须通过kmem_cache_create()函数来完成，原型如下
struct kmem_cache *
kmem_cache_create (const char *name, size_t size, size_t align,
unsigned long flags, void (*ctor)(void *))- name:所创建的新缓存的名字
- size :缓存所分配对象的大小
- align:对象的对齐值
- flags:创建用的标识
- ctor:创建对象时的构造函数
kmem_cache_create()的实际工作就是为新的缓存申请缓存描述符，array_cache描述符和kmem_list3描述符，并根据接收的参数对这三个结构中的变量进行相应的初始化。新创建的缓存是空的，不包含slab。
struct kmem_cache *
kmem_cache_create (const char *name, size_t size, size_t align,
