Hi,

I just want to make sure that I didn't miss any limitation about
memory mapping: I would like to allocate a huge amount of contiguous
physical memory for a userspace application. I was thinking about
using something like alloc_bootmem_pages and mmap it, so I can use it
from userland. Should this work?

Thanks,
Eric
