Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] kho: add support for preserving vmalloc allocations
From: "Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)" <rppt@...nel.org>
A vmalloc allocation is preserved using binary structure similar to
global KHO memory tracker. It's a linked list of pages where each page
is an array of physical address of pages in vmalloc area.
kho_preserve_vmalloc() hands out the physical address of the head page
to the caller. This address is used as the argument to
kho_vmalloc_restore() to restore the mapping in the vmalloc address
space and populate it with the preserved pages.
