+Subject: Input: evdev - fall back to vmalloc for client event buffer
+
+evdev always tries to allocate the event buffer for clients using
+kzalloc rather than vmalloc, presumably to avoid mapping overhead where
+possible.  However, drivers like bcm5974, which claims support for
+reporting 16 fingers simultaneously, can have an extraordinarily large
+buffer.  The resultant contiguous order-4 allocation attempt fails due
+to fragmentation, and the device is thus unusable until reboot.
+
+Try kzalloc if we can to avoid the mapping overhead, but if that fails,
+fall back to vzalloc.
