Not in the initial envisioned form. The unused pointer argument would have
simply change type leaving kmem_cache_create as is.
Now we may have to add a function to set the kmem_cache_ops to avoid
API changes. Or we change the ctor type argument to be kmem_cache_ops *
(as you wanted earlier). However that would require allocating a
kmem_cache_ops structure for each slab that uses an initializer.
