-Subject: Input: evdev - fall back to vmalloc for client event buffer
-
-evdev always tries to allocate the event buffer for clients using
-kzalloc rather than vmalloc, presumably to avoid mapping overhead where
-possible.  However, drivers like bcm5974, which claims support for
-reporting 16 fingers simultaneously, can have an extraordinarily large
-buffer.  The resultant contiguous order-4 allocation attempt fails due
-to fragmentation, and the device is thus unusable until reboot.
-
-Try kzalloc if we can to avoid the mapping overhead, but if that fails,
-fall back to vzalloc.
