kmalloc is unreliable when allocating more than 8 pages of memory. It may fail when there is plenty of free memory but the memory is fragmented. Zdenek Kabelac observed such failure in his tests. This commit changes kmalloc to kvmalloc - kvmalloc will fall back to vmalloc if the large allocation fails.
