Hi Andrey,

FYI, on arch/ppc/lib/rheap.c theres an implementation of a remote heap.

It is currently used for the management of freescale's CPM1 & CPM2 internal
dual port RAM.

Take a look, it might be what you have in mind.

Thanks I missed it (and small wonder! :( ).

Andrew, Is somebody count HOW MANY dev specific implementation
of buddy/first-fit allocators now in kernel?

Yes, it is indeed messy.

The rheap implementation is generic enough and I believe can fit most of the
special memory allocators needs. If you'd like I could move it somewhere
generic and test it.

Regards

Pantelis
