Yes that's clearly how it should be.  Unfortunately while adding
the locking to do this, I found out that you can't actually call
__vmalloc with BH disabled so this is a no-go.

Unless we can make __vmalloc work with BH disabled, I guess we'll
have to go back to multi-level lookups unless someone has a better
suggestion.

Cheers,
