I would like to point out that I greatly dislike any and all such
abuses. Either you vmalloc something or you kmalloc it. Doing it dynamic
with no way to tell? Horrible.

(in fact I might do a patch in the opposite direction; have vmalloc()
be fancy and internally try kmalloc first, if it fails, then do the
expensive stuff)

but really, you need to know what you allocated.
