Sure. If kvfree() really is smart enough to figure it out then there
it no point in the if (blah) kfree() else vfree().
The drivers/acpi/apei/erst.c code isn't doi

Please do not quote and entire large patch just to give an ACK.
Just quote the minimum necessary context, which is usually just
the commit message.

There are many locations that do
if (memory_was_allocated_by_vmalloc)
vfree(ptr);
else
kfree(ptr);
but kvfree() can handle both kmalloc()ed memory and vmalloc()ed memory
using is_vmalloc_addr(). Unless callers have special reasons, we can
replace this branch with kvfree(). Please chec
