Is your motivation that since kvmalloc() never falls back to vmalloc() on 
boot because fragmentation is not be an issue at boot that we should catch 
bugs where it would matter if it had fallen back?  If we are worrying 
about falling back to vmalloc before even initscripts have run I think we 
have bigger problems.
