I run the kernel without the framebuffer (on serial console). I
saw many vmalloc warnings trigered in vmap_pte_range()
[mm/vmalloc.c line 97]. 
I supposed they were done from measure_one() [kernel/sched.c].

I have only CG6 installed in SS20. I have not the CG14 VRAM. The
warnings were triggered from the first call to measure_one(). The
calls were done with the smallest size (64K) first so the size
should not matter.

I hope it helps,
Krzysztof.
