I was getting a order 4 allocation failure from kmalloc when testing some game after a few days uptime with some suspend/resumes. For big allocations vmalloc should be used instead.

I've picked up this patch with a minor modification (see below)

Also limit size more aggressively to 256 KiB.

I dropped this, it's *completely* useless, the sizes are already enforced right at the beginning of the ioctl (shockingly, the max size is going to be 256KiB already)...

Thanks, I wonder how I missed that. :-)
