We have a similar problem with the storage driver, which needs a block of 256 KiB of contiguous memory.
I guess at least that one should be solveable. If the 256kb is only internal flash access, it is should not be part of the storage driver but of whatever else is used to drive this. Assuming the module gets loaded shortly after boot, you can still allocate 256kb practically always, using get_free_pages().
