We have in test_acomp() -> crypto_acomp_decompress() -> 
tfm->decompress() -> scomp_acomp_decompress() -> 
scomp_acomp_comp_decomp() -> scatterwalk_map_and_copy() -> 
scatterwalk_copychunks()

  41                 if (out != 2) {
  42                         vaddr = scatterwalk_map(walk);
  43                         memcpy_dir(buf, vaddr, len_this_page, out);
  44                         scatterwalk_unmap(vaddr);
  45                 }


scatterwalk_map() gets vaddr from kmap_atomic().

test_acomp() initializes sg:
sg_init_one(&src, ctemplate[i].input, ilen);

ctemplate is a kernel address (like lzo_comp_tv_template), which was 
assigned to walk->sg latter and passed to kmap_atomic().
