Hi Christoph,
We understand your suggestion on shrinking the size of fusion_context so
that we can use kmalloc to allocate the structure.
Size of fusion_context structure now is about 179kB and it is contributed
almost entirely by log_to_span array (~176kB).
The rest of the arrays do not make as much difference to the size.
We will send a new patch that separates allocation for log_to_span array
from fusion_context.
For now it is a Nack for this patch then.
