Use kvzalloc() to bypass the arbitrary PAGE_SIZE limit of label transfer operations. Given the expense of calling into firmware, maximize the amount of label data we transfer per call to be up to the total label space if allowed by the firmware. Instead of limiting based on PAGE_SIZE we can instead simply limit the maximum size based on either the config_size int he case of the get operation, or the length of the write based on the set operation. On a system with 24 NVDIMM modules each with a config_size of 128K and a maximum transfer size of 64K - 4, this patch reduces the init time for the label data from around 24 seconds down to between 4-5 seconds.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
