* kvfree() - Free memory.

* If the memory is allocated from vmalloc area it is freed with vfree().
* Otherwise kfree() is used.
* kvfree frees memory allocated by any of vmalloc(), kmalloc() or kvmalloc().
* It is slightly more efficient to use kfree() or vfree() if you are certain
* that you know which one to use.
