Which IMO was a mistake in Linux.  It would be different if the priority
argument had been explicit (although these days it's functionally
required, which sort-of justifies a different name.)

kmalloc(), kstrdup() etc. have different names because they're different
interfaces, which don't duplicate the malloc(), strdup() etc. semantics.
