We met mulitple times of failure of staring bmc-watchdog,
due to the runtime memory allocation failure of order 4.
bmc-watchdog: page allocation failure: order:4, mode:0x40cc0(GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_COMP), nodemask=(null),cpuset=/,mems_allowed=0-1
CPU: 1 PID: 2571 Comm: bmc-watchdog Not tainted 5.5.0-00045-g7d6bb61d6188c #1

Using vzalloc/vfree for creating ipmi_user heals the

Thanks to Stephen Rothwell for finding the vmalloc.h

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
