From my driver I would like to: - Lock down a range of memory (ensure that it is not paged out) - Get a mapping of the corrosponding phyiscal memory i.e. I would like to be able to read the physical memory directly. - I don't want to use the proc file system. Can anyone tell me what the fucntions and / or data structures are to acomplish this?
