I am writing a linux kernel driver for a custom pci device. I am

512 MB of IO memory reserved by BAR 3. Whenever I try to ioremap this

allocation failed: out of vmalloc space - use vmalloc=<size> to increase
size.
I think I understand why this is happening. I obviously don't have
enough vmalloc space to map such a large chunk of memory. I have been
using Corbet's et el's "Linux Device Drivers", Love's "Linux Kernel
Development", and many websites as a guide in this development process
but have yet to come across information that will help me.
I'm curious if there is a way around this issue. Or a better way of
handling it so that I can properly map the entire io memory space.
You can boot with kernel parameter vmalloc=384M or so. I have
experienced problems with booting with other values, but YMMV.

Thanks for any help,
