Simple question. How do I allocate a page from highmem, that's still within 32 bits? x86_64 has the DMA32 zone, but i386 has just HIGHMEM. As most devices can't DMA above 32 bit, I have 3 GB of memory that's not getting decent usage (or results in needless bouncing). What to do? I tried just enabling CONFIG_DMA32 for i386, but there is some guard against too many memory zones. I'm assuming this is there for a good reason? -- -- Pierre Ossman Linux kernel, MMC maintainer http://www.kernel.org rdesktop, core developer http://www.rdesktop.org WARNING: This correspondence is being monitored by the Swedish government.
