Subject: [RFC PATCH 15/73] mm/vmalloc: Add a helper to reserve a contiguous and aligned kernel virtual area

From: Hou Wenlong <houwenlong.hwl@...group.com>

PVM needs to reserve a contiguous and aligned kernel virtual area for
the guest kernel. Therefor, add a helper to achieve this. It is a
temporary method currently, and a better method is needed in the future.
