It would be also useful to add a header line:

$ head /proc/allocinfo
allocinfo - version: 1.0
# <size> <calls> <tag>
            0        0 init/main.c:1314 func:do_initcalls
            0        0 init/do_mounts.c:353 func:mount_nodev_root
            0        0 init/do_mounts.c:187 func:mount_root_generic
            0        0 init/do_mounts.c:158 func:do_mount_root
..

This would be the same as in /proc/slabinfo:
$ sudo head /proc/slabinfo
slabinfo - version: 2.1
# name            <active_objs> <num_objs> <objsize> <objperslab>
<pagesperslab> : tunables <limit> <batchcount> <sharedfactor> :
slabdata <active_slabs> <num_slabs> <sharedavail>
pid_3               2730   2730    192   42    2 : tunables    0    0
  0 : slabdata     65     65      0
.
