'foo' is a generic term for a random variable name.

Read the man page!!
/* sys/something/foo_extern.h */
MALLOC_DECLARE(M_FOOBUF);
/* sys/something/foo_main.c */
MALLOC_DEFINE(M_FOOBUF, "foobuffers", "Buffers to foo data into the ether");
/* sys/something/foo_subr.c */
...
MALLOC(buf, struct foo_buf *, sizeof *buf, M_FOOBUF, M_NOWAIT);
Read other code, there are plenty of examples in the tree.
