vmalloc is scatter gather virtual addressed data. It isnt DMAable.
kmalloc space is linear and DMAable generally as (on some platforms
only) is the stack.

OK. That makes sense. I suppose the follow-up question is why is the firmware loader using vmalloc ? I would have thought that most, if not all, devices have this requirement.
