hey all,

kernel 2.1.87.

I have a shared memory device (no ports). do I need to reserve the memory space that the board occupies? If so, how do I go about doing this? In some of the docs available at KHG I see that I can reserve ports, do I use the same call to reserve a block of shared memory?

TIA, joe
