The kvm struct has been bloating. For example, it's tens of kilo-bytes for x86, which turns out to be a large amount of memory to allocate contiguously via kzalloc. Thus, this patch does the following: 1. Uses architecture-specific routines to allocate the kvm struct via vzalloc for x86. 2. Switches arm to __KVM_HAVE_ARCH_VM_ALLOC so that it can use vzalloc when has_vhe() is true. Other architectures continue to default to kalloc, as they have a dependency on kalloc or have a small-enough struct kvm.

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.
