For the records, I've also sent this patch to address the issue from a
kernel perspective:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230829120508.317611-1-andrea.righi@canonical.com/T/#u (local)

That seems to solve the issue in my particular case, but I'm not sure if
that's a valid solution across all architectures.
I can't think of a reason why it would regress on other architectures.
We'll give it a spin soon fast as it will be on its way to Linus today.
Cool! Yes, if this patch can be applied we don't really need to change
libkmod and if there are other spots in the decompress code that can use
vmalloc() we can adjust them in a similar way.

Thanks,
