Hi,

Can anybody tell me how I can allocate four contiguous buffers of 2MB
each from non paged pool  in a device driver (I mean is there any
syscall or anybody has written any routine which will do this job ?).
In the JPEG driver i'm writing these buffers are used by both the
applications and the driver (and in turn the card) to send and receive
the images (compressed and uncompressed).

Thank you in advance
