SubjectRE: Address spaces on a i386 - Getting Confused
Hi,

In the kernel, use GFP_DMA for dma-capable, physically contiguous memory
(only for ISA dma right now, as that is limited to 16MB; PCI can always
dma all of physical memory right now, as we don't support more than 4G
physical ram on Intel). In user space, use valloc() to get page-aligned
memory.
