Subject[PATCH 01/13] nios2: define virtual address space for modules
Date
From: "Mike Rapoport (IBM)" <rppt@kernel.org>

nios2 uses kmalloc() to implement module_alloc() because CALL26/PCREL26
cannot reach all of vmalloc address space.

Define module space as 32MiB below the kernel base and switch nios2 to
use vmalloc for module allocations.

Suggested-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
