[PATCH 3/3] vmalloc: use kzalloc() instead of alloc_bootmem()

[PATCH 3/3] vmalloc: use kzalloc() instead of alloc_bootmem()

[Pekka J Enberg]

From: Pekka Enberg <penberg@cs.helsinki.fi>

We can call vmalloc_init() after kmem_cache_init() and use kzalloc() instead of
the bootmem allocator when initializing vmalloc data structures.

[Linus Torvalds]

ACK on the whole series. Feel free to push it to me asap, so that we can 
get any potential issues found and sorted out early.
