RE: [PATCH 3/12 2.4] e1000 - use vmalloc for data structures not shared with h/w

["Venkatesan, Ganesh" <ganesh.venkatesan@xxxxxxxxx>]

Vmalloc space is less scarce than kmalloc space. Am I right? This patch
trades kmalloc space for vmalloc space.

This sounds rather bogus.  vmallocspace is a scare ressource, don't use
it
unless nessecary.
