When you say, LKM area is prepared with vmalloc is it for code /
executable you refering too ? if so will it matter for data copy ?

Point # 2. Some one was saying that on atleast MIPS it takes more
cycle to call kernel main function from module because of log jump.
Does it apply to x86_64 to ?

To teat above two should I make my module part of static kernel ?
