Hmm... this replacement is a little tricky.
When you look into kvmalloc_node(), it will do the fallback if the size is bigger than PAGE_SIZE. This means the change here may not be equivalent as before if memmap_size is less than PAGE_SIZE.
For example if : PAGE_SIZE = 64K SECTION_SIZE = 128M
would lead to memmap_size = 2K, which is less than PAGE_SIZE.
Not sure this combination would happen?
