I would prefer something short, and for whatever reason I have a mental block
with ksft.  I always read it as "k soft", which is completely nonsensical :-)

Hmm, I'm not usually a fan either, but that could actually work quite well in this

malloc() kinda looks like a typo, and would more clearly communicate that they're
macros.
