Subject: nios2: define virtual address space for modules
Date: Mon, 18 Sep 2023 10:29:43 +0300
Patch series "mm: jit/text allocator", v3.
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.
