Hi all,

VM Contiguous Allocation.

The bt848 driver could really do with contiguous memory allocation
being available well after boot time.

Currently, the driver has to allocate the memory buffer the
bt848 chip copies frames into at boot time. (about 700k)

It would be great if the driver could allocate this buffer at run-time.
It would need to be contiguous and non-swappable.

Any anyone help hack the kernel to achieve this?

Cheers
