Physical Memory allocation

Hi.
I need to allocate a particular piece of memory for a driver. The
card has an onboard buffer in ROM space on the PC that the driver needs to
be able to read and write. I assume I need to allocate a memory descriptor
of some kind in the kernel to do this ( I have already gotten the segment
violation panic without doing this ). The question is: How do I do this
under Microport SysV/AT? What about under SysV/386 ( I plan on porting the
driver real soon )? Any pointers would be useful. And I have read the
runtime manual about adding device drivers, with no mention of a seemingly
appropriate function.
Thanks
