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.
