Currently, the memory to the composition frame is being allocated using
the kzmalloc. This comes with the limitation of maximum size of one
page size(which in the x86_64 is 4Kb and 4MB for default and hugepage
respectively).
Somes test of igt (e.g. kms_plane@pixel-format) uses more than 4MB when
testing some pixel formats like ARGB16161616 and the following error were
showing up when running kms_plane@plane-panning-bottom-right*:
[drm:vkms_composer_worker [vkms]] *ERROR* Cannot allocate memory for
output frame.
This problem is addessed by allocating the memory using kvzalloc that
circunvents this limitation.
