[PATCH RESEND v8 03/16] nios2: define virtual address space for modules

[Mike Rapoport]

From: "Mike Rapoport (IBM)" <rppt at kernel.org>

nios2 uses kmalloc() to implement module_alloc() because CALL26/PCREL26
cannot reach all of vmalloc address space.

Define module space as 32MiB below the kernel base and switch nios2 to
use vmalloc for module allocations.
