KVM guest can fail to startup with following trace on host: qemu-system-x86: page allocation failure: order:4, mode:0x40d0 Call Trace: dump_stack+0x47/0x67 warn_alloc_failed+0xee/0x150 __alloc_pages_direct_compact+0x14a/0x150 __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x776/0xb80 alloc_kmem_pages+0x3a/0x110 kmalloc_order+0x13/0x50 kmemdup+0x1b/0x40 __kvm_set_memory_region+0x24a/0x9f0 [kvm] kvm_set_ioapic+0x130/0x130 [kvm] kvm_set_memory_region+0x21/0x40 [kvm] kvm_vm_ioctl+0x43f/0x750 [kvm] Failure happens when attempting to allocate pages for 'struct kvm_memslots', however it doesn't have to be present in physically contiguous (kmalloc-ed) address space, change allocation to kvm_kvzalloc() so that it will be vmalloc-ed when its size is more then a page.
