Size of kmalloc() in vga_arb_write() is controlled by user. Too large kmalloc() size triggers WARNING message on console. Allocate the buffer on stack to avoid the WARNING. The string must be small (e.g "target PCI:domain:bus:dev.fn").

Even assuming something silly like having 10 characters for each domain,bus,dev,fn that would still be only 55 bytes. So based on that even something like 64 bytes should be more than enough AFAICS.
