Hi,
... the kernel thread is as sensitive as the kernel itself for the page faults. It _should not_ fault, unless ofcourse if its a vmalloc'ed area .. and that happens every other kernel path anyway....
I have a doubt about the vmalloc'ed memory. Is the vmalloced chunk of memory allowed to be swapped out? Can it / Does it? My doubt arises from the fact that the memory for the loadable modules at module load time is allocated using vmalloc() ...
