- Greetings,
-
- I'm writing a streams device driver for 386 UNIX SVR4 and I need 512
- bytes of DMAable memory that is aligned to a 512 byte boundary (i.e.
- the starting address is a multiple of 512). How is this done ? None
- of the kernel memory allocators take an alignment argument. Please
- send all responses via e-mail and I will post a summary if I get
- enough useful information. Thanks.
