[PATCHv2 02/10] fbdev: ssd1307fb: Use vmalloc to allocate video memory.

[Thomas NiederprÃm]

It makes sense to use vmalloc to allocate the video buffer since it has to be
page aligned memory for using it with mmap. Also deffered io seems buggy in
combination with kmalloc'ed memory (crash on unloading the module).
