I have been searching around for a while on the internet, and I haven't
found any good explanation on where bigphysarea went in debian's 2.6
kernels, and what I can use as an alternative.

Can anyone tell me how to go about allocating large physical memory for use
by dma and usermode programs. I used to use bigphysarea_alloc,
mem_map_reserve - and then for mapping I would set the vma to VM_LOCKED and
I would call remap_page_range.

What do I do with kernel 2.6 for this?
