Subject: 8MB physical memory allocation

Hi, I'm writing a driver for a video adapter that needs to allocate 8MB
(maximum resolution) in physical, contiguos memory. I am working on a
ARM9 platform.

I guess the only way to go is alloc_bootmem(). Any other solution that
may be recently introduced?

bye
