[PrPMC800] Allocating DMA-able memory with scarce PCI resources

Hi,

My PrPMC800's are to be run in as slaves in a PCI-system, where they will
only be alloted a limited amount of PCI-space each (< 1MB), how do I do to
make allocation of datastructures that should be accessible from the
outside (e.g ethernet controllers) fall within a memory area that is
accessible from the PCI bus?

I guess that it has something to do with page_alloc and zones, but I have
[not yet] found out where zones gets initialized...

Regards

Anders Blomdell
