I have an ISM segment that gets consumed by HW that is limited to 32-bit addressing and thus have a need to control the physical range that backs the segment. At this point, it would seem that I need to allocate the memory (about 300MB) in the kernel and map it back to user-land but I would lose the use of 2MB pages since I have not quite figured out how to allocate memory using a particular page size. Have I misinterpreted the code? Do I have other options?

You could of course remove all but 4 G of ram on the box.... that should
insure that physical addresses are below 4G.
