address space ranges, required alignmen
From: "Mike Rapoport (IBM)"
module_alloc() is used everywhere as a mean to allocate memory for code.
Beside being semantically wrong, this unnecessarily ties all subsystems
that need to allocate code, such as ftrace, kprobes and BPF to modules and
puts the burden of code
From: "Mike Rapoport (IBM)"
nios2 uses kmalloc() to implement module_alloc() because CALL26/PCREL26
cannot reach all of vmalloc address space.
Define module space as 32MiB below the kernel base and switch nios2 to
use vmalloc for module allocations.

Move the logic related to the memory allocation and freeing into
module_memory_alloc() and module_memory_free().
