Thanks for the response ... what suggest sounds reasonable and will
likely be the way we eventually solve the problem. I've got the
memory stuff working now by switching to vmalloc. I just wanted to get
this thing up and running before changing a lot of stuff which is why
I'm not worried about memory issues at the moment. The code has already
compiled and worked on a BSD OS (Darwin) - so I'm trying to use as much
code without modifications to prove the driver under Linux. Then I'll
fix the above issue.
