There are many locations that do

if (memory_was_allocated_by_vmalloc) vfree(ptr); else kfree(ptr);

but kvfree() can handle both kmalloc()ed memory and vmalloc()ed memory using is_vmalloc_addr(). Unless callers have special reasons, we can replace this branch with kvfree(). Please check and reply if you found problems.

ACK for the ACPI changes (and CCing Tony and Boris for the heads-up as they are way more famailiar with the APEI code than I am).
