The correct word should be "invalid," in spite of
the fact that the SCSI committee used invalid syntax.
Alan is right. There is nothing illegal in the kernel
and if there is, it must be removed as soon as it
is discovered!

Basically, it doesn't return anything that closely resembles

Changes in "request_mem_region()" ("__request_region()")

It appears as though somebody thought this would only used

Some imaging systems reserve large amounts of
contiguous DMA RAM (16 megabytes) by booting
with 'mem='. In the subject systems, we boot
with "mem=768m" which makes the first available
RAM at 768 * 1024 * 1024 = 0x3000.
