Thanks Michael, I'm glad to see that this change made its way into
mainline after all! Would you be willing to take the following on top?

Subject: [PATCH] vhost-net: don't open-code kvfree
Commit 23cc5a991c ("vhost-net: extend device allocation to vmalloc")
added another open-coded version of kvfree (which is available since
v3.15-rc5), nuke it.
