Furthermore, a failed vmalloc() is not guaranteed to emit an OOM
message, is it ?

It currently displays a message without context :

vmap allocation for size XXXXXX failed: use vmalloc=<size> to increase
size.

So we dont know which part of the kernel asked this allocation.

Please dont remove existing error messages after failed vmalloc() calls.
