I'm pretty sure I understand that the 3:1 split you refer to is defined by PAGE_OFFSET in asm-i386/page.h But when I tried to find the answer in the source for the vmalloc zone, I looked in linux/mm.h, linux/mmzone.h, linux/vmalloc.h, and mm/vmalloc.c, but couldn't find anything there or in O'Reilly's kernel book that I could follow/understand.
