I see this function is called with a hardwired 64k size on restore -
so this means save is also limited to 64k?

This is really overcomplicated if that is the state size you are
working with - the mlx5 code this was copied from is dealing with much
larger values.

Just kvalloc() your 64k and be done with it. You need a bit of fussing
to DMA map the vmap, but it is much simpler than all of this
stuff. See fpga_mgr_buf_load()

Since the kvalloc is linear the read/write is just memcpy.
