As I said multiple times, imho, #ifdef CONFIG_xxx_MODULE in the kernel
is always a bug.

You should always be able to build the module out of tree afteward and
use it on a kernel that didn't have the CONFIG_xxx_MODULE set imho.

I know.

Do you know another way to allocate an aligned chunk of 256 KiB of physically
contiguous memory, possibly a long time after boot up?

s/kmalloc/get_free_pages/

kmalloc is limited to 128kb.
