I use the following in /etc/lilo.conf to reserve 4mb of space for real-time
use. I use this contiguous area for DMA transfers from several pci devices
to system memory. Once the data are transfered to this memory, I process
it and move it to a large ( 110 mb ) queue reserved within linux via the
mbuff package. Unless you need contigous DMA memory, the mbuff functions
will do what you want.
