We _do_ try to size it according to the amount of memory in the box, but if the server is started well after boot time, then the allocation can fail due to memory fragmentation. Fall back to doing a vzalloc if the kcalloc fails, and switch the shutdown code to do a kvfree to handle freeing correctly.
