You don't need to provide this file if you don't use it.

Don't define it like this - define VMALLOC_END to be the maximum virtual
address which you can permit the vmalloc area to extend to - which is
generally the start of your peripheral mappings.

It's rather pointless defining it in terms of PAGE_OFFSET, because this
can vary, whereas the start of your peripheral mappings tends to be
fixed.
