Well, looks like an AMD practice:

$ git grep --name-only alloc_struct
drivers/crypto/ccp/ccp-dev.c
drivers/crypto/ccp/ccp-dev.h
drivers/crypto/ccp/psp-dev.c
drivers/crypto/ccp/sev-dev.c
drivers/crypto/ccp/sp-dev.c
drivers/crypto/ccp/sp-dev.h
drivers/crypto/ccp/sp-pci.c
drivers/crypto/ccp/sp-platform.c
drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdkfd/kfd_dbgmgr.c
drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdkfd/kfd_priv.h
drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdkfd/kfd_topology.c

But whatever, if you like it more that way... :)
