[    6.939422] vmap allocation for size 16384 failed: use
vmalloc=<size> to increase size.
[    6.955278] lguest: could not map switcher pages high

This actually comes from lguest.

Several weeks ago I tried lguest on qemu-kvm-i386 and saw similar problem.
I didn't debug it further, but it's OK if disable CONFIG_SMP.

I just double-checked it with v4.2-rc1(without this patchset)
CONFIG_SMP: see the vmalloc error
!CONFIG_SMP: no problem

Could you confirm?

BTW, it seams "qemu-kvm-i386 guest" as "lguest host" doesn't work.
Need to run lguest on bare metal.

Thanks.
