Hi,
Is there a way to lock a particular portion of the memory pages during
kernel bootup? I want to re-use these pages when I load my
application. I *don't* wanna use the idea of reserving some physical
memory and using ioremap. I want something that kernel should be able
to manage this memory but I don't want any other application to use
this memory.
Thanks in advance

Wrong kind of kernel for this kind of use. The kernel dynamically
allocates/deallocates/pages of memory that it knows about. The only
way to do what you want, with a kernel designed for multi-tasking
multi-user applications use, is to reserve memory during boot.
