 The "name" is for diagnostics (like a kmem_cache name); dev and size
 are as above.  The device's hardware alignment requirement for this
 type of data is "align" (which is expressed in bytes, and must be a
 power of two).  If your device has no boundary crossing restrictions,
-pass 0 for alloc; passing 4096 says memory allocated from this pool
+pass 0 for boundary; passing 4096 says memory allocated from this pool
 must not cross 4KByte boundaries (but at that time it may be better to
 go for dma_alloc_coherent directly instead).
