which is why we should not be using kmalloc() to allocate huge chunks

we don't. kmalloc is only used for allocations <= MAX_KMALLOC_SIZE (==
PAGE_SIZE)
ideally, afs would just use vmalloc for
everything but early kernels dont have a vmalloc(GFP_NOFS).
doing this would waste vmalloc address space unnecessarily (it is more
scarce than low memory on 32 bit x86).
