Which leads me to the question: what is the best method to reserve a large (~4MB) coherent buffer for DMA transfers?
May be you should to use alloc_pages with __GFP_DMA flag, and then use
page_address to get address of first allocated page.
Is there any way of using alloc_bootmem from a driver (compiled into the kernel) without delving further into kernel code?
yes, i think:
