Subject: 8MB physical memory allocation
Date: Wed, 10 Sep 2008 21:30:05 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <48C89ECD.6050900@manoweb.com> (raw)

Hi, I'm writing a driver for a video adapter that needs to allocate 8MB
(maximum resolution) in physical, contiguos memory. I am working on a
ARM9 platform.

I guess the only way to go is alloc_bootmem(). Any other solution that
may be recently introduced?

bye
