I need to share about 100megs of memory between kernel and userspace.
The memory can not be paged and should appear contig in the process's
address space. Any suggestions?
I need a way to either:
map user memory into the kernel's address space.
map kernel memory into the user's address space.
I was looking at pmap_qenter() but it didn't see attractive because
it's for "short term mappings", this mapping will exist for quite a
while.
