The parameters into the buffer allocation would ideally be:
- size of buffer
- priority
- driver name and instance wanting it (hard/impossible?)


Having an "int alloc_register(name, instance, max_memory_to_use)" function that returns the handle would allow for this.


another way, have that driver use esballoc() with buffers coming out of its
owned/managed kmem_cache: that is with constructor function filling in whatever extra
info your driver deems useful.

Of couse this would allow base (in esballoc/desballoc) to be
ignored.


I don't understand why you'd want to change that part.
