How often must this be allocated? How many of them are needed? If you only need a small set number of them, then they can be allocated very early on in the system lifetime, which means you should allocate them in machdep.c, with the rest of the memory overlay which attempts to make memory in protected mode look like physical RAM. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
