You mean with command line kernel option? If so - I already did so to
get all work!*** when you do add_memory_region(), give only first 32 MB to linux, so all the skbs will be in lower 32 MB range.aj> * Give only upper 32 MB to linux, and give memory to ur dma engine from lower 32 MB, and once you recv any data you copy to skb and submit to linux.

How can I do this? I have variant that if addres is upper than 32Mb then copy skbuffer to
previously allocated memory that lower than 32Mb, but perfomance is wery Important. Maybe
you mean this??
