OK, kvfree is not wrong, seems vfree is more appropriate since it's
clear the ipl_buf is allocated with zvalloc() in ipl_report_finish().

Hi Heiko,

Could you help modify the code in your tree or append below patch to
mute the lkp complaint? Sorry for the inconvenience.

Subject: [PATCH] s390/kexec: use vfree to free memory from vmalloc

Since it's clear that memory is allocated with vzalloc in ipl_report_finish(),
let's use vfree to free the memory instead since it's more efficient than
kvfree.

This fixes the warning reported by lkp.
