    Subject[PATCHv3 02/10] fbdev: ssd1307fb: Use vmalloc to allocate video memory.
    Date
    It makes sense to use vmalloc to allocate the video buffer since it has to be
    page aligned memory for using it with mmap. Also deffered io seems buggy in
    combination with kmalloc'ed memory (crash on unloading the module).
