Subject: Why does salinfo_log_read_cpu use kmalloc?

Why does arch/ia64/kernel/salinfo.c::salinfo_log_read_cpu() use
kmalloc() for the log buffer?  The code is running virtual with
interrupts enabled, SAL_GET_STATE_INFO has no special requirements for
the buffer attributes, so why not use vmalloc()?
