The ipu6 driver allocated vmalloc memory for the firmware if
request_firmware() somehow managed not to use vmalloc to allocate it.
Still how the memory is allocated by request_firmware() is not specified
in its API, so be prepared for kmalloc-allocated firmware, too. Instead of
allocating new vmalloc-backed buffer for the firmware, obtain the pages
from virtual addresses instead.

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 reStructuredText 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.
