[PATCH RFC 08/12] vdpa_sim: use kvmalloc to allocate vdpasim->buffer

From: Stefano Garzarella <sgarzare@redhat.com>
Date: 2020-11-13 13:48:51
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: the rest, virtio core · Maintainers: Linus Torvalds, "Michael S. Tsirkin", Jason Wang

The next patch will make the buffer size configurable from each
device.
Since the buffer could be larger than a page, we use kvmalloc()
instead of kmalloc().
