Allocate it at boot time in machdep.c; that's one way, but that's mostly for use in the kernel (though you could set the PG_U bit on the pages, which would double map them in both the kernel and all user space processes. Another way is to put it in a System V shared memory segment, and set the sysctl option that wires it down.
