[Devel] [PATCH RH9 26/30] tty: use kvmalloc for screenbuffer allocation

[Andrey Zhadchenko]

From: Oleg Babin <obabin at virtuozzo.com>

Console driver allocates a screenbuffer with kmalloc(). The
size of the buffer can be up to 32768 bytes which is the 3rd
memory order.

Use kvmalloc() for screenbuffer allocation to fallback to vmalloc()
in case of high order page is not available at the moment.
