Bigphysarea

["Troy Davis" <troy.davis@airbornedatasystems.com>]

Hello all-
	This is off topic I know, but I need to create a large chunk of contiguous
physical ram.  I know that bigphysarea is a patch that can be applied to the
kernel to do this.  The only patch I have seen is for 2.2.13.  Does anyone
know if there is a patch for 2.2.14?  I'm fairly certain that the 2.2.13
patch will work with 2.2.14 but it would be nice to know if there is a
better one out there.
	I've also heard another way is to use the memory function of lilo to tell
linux it has less memory than is present.  Then you create a device to
access the unseen area of memory.  Has anyone tried to do this, or ever
heard of it being done?
