NAME
       alloc_vm_area - allocate a range of kernel address space

SYNOPSIS
       struct vm_struct * alloc_vm_area(size_t size);

ARGUMENTS
       size

       This function reserves a range of kernel address space, and allocates
       pagetables to map that range. No actual mappings are created. If the
       kernel address space is not shared between processes, it syncs the
       pagetable across all processes.
