Allocating a contiguous buffer of 64K may fail if memory is sufficiently fragmented, and may cause OOM kill of an unrelated process. However we do not need to have contiguous memory. We also do not need to zero out the buffer since it will be overwritten with firmware data. Switch to using kvmalloc() instead of kzalloc().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
