Is there somewhere a version of the bigphysarea patch for recent 2.1.x kernels?

Or does anyone have a better idea how to allocate 1-4MByte of nonpageable physically contiguous memory?

I need this to store the wavetable data in the SonicVibes driver so that the chip can access it...

I believe there are some links on my homepage, but I'm too lazy to look it up right now... (25 degrees Celcius, 80% humidity, damn)
