Subject: [PATCH 3.12 081/107] drm/nouveau/falcon: use vmalloc to create firwmare copies

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ilia Mirkin <imirkin@...m.mit.edu>

commit 90d6db1635d5e225623af2e2e859feb607345287 upstream.

Some firmware images may be large (64K), so using kmalloc memory is
inappropriate for them. Use vmalloc instead, to avoid high-order
allocation failures.
