I guess I meant the vmalloc calls -- one for node_range and one for
node_try_addr. I was wondering if the logic could be combined in some
way so that the __vmalloc_node_range() could be made in terms of the
the helper that try_module_randomize_each() uses. But this could just
be me hoping for nice-to-read changes. ;)
