Hmmm....vmalloc() definitely works fine, we use it all of the
time in the kernel.  The only way it would hang is if you call
it too soon, or if the number of pages was too large.

.....and we really should be using
vmalloc_32(...) instead (which will result in exactly the same code, but
it is cleaner).

It's no longer the same.  Linux has the "highmem" configuration now,
and vmalloc() allows that to be used, while vmalloc32() does not.
