Thanks, here is the updated patch, which
- updates vread/vwrite prototype to return 0 (or error code in future).
- do zero fill in the callers
Comment updates are ignored for now.
Thanks,

vmalloc: ignore vmalloc area holes in vread()/vwrite()
Siliently ignore all vmalloc area holes in vread()/vwrite(),
and report success (or error code in future) to the caller.
When /dev/kmem read()/write() encounters hwpoison page, stop it
and return the amount of work done till now.
