Subject: special malloc needs...
Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org
X-Loop: FreeBSD.org
Precedence: bulk

Is there any way to malloc memory (from userland code) that is at specific 
offsets from each other in physical memory (i.e. 2 chunks exactly XXM apart in 
physical RAM) or failing that, to allocate a very large (>32M) chunk of contig 
physical RAM? (again, from userland?)

Browsing the kernel/dd sources, I found contigmalloc, but it doesn't appear to 
be available in any of the libs... (kernel only?)

Thanks,
Mike
