    摘要: In one embodiment, the invention is an apparatus. The apparatus includes a first d-node having a pointer to a subordinate d-node and an identifier. The apparatus also includes a set of d-nodes, each d-node of the set of d-nodes having an identifier, a pointer to a peer d-node, a pointer to a subordinate d-node and a pointer to an entry. The set of d-nodes is accessible through the pointer of the first d-node. The apparatus also includes a set of entries, each entry of the set of entries having an identifier, a type, a value, and a pointer to an entry. The value of each entry embodies data corresponding to a configuration of a system.

    摘要: The present invention relates to using memory in a computer. In particular, the present invention relates to allocating a portion of computer-system memory as a cache, making the allocated portion accessible to device drivers and hiding the allocated memory portion from the operating system. In one embodiment of the present invention, an amount of system memory is allocated for use as a direct memory access (“DMA”) buffer. The allocated memory is mapped as write combining, and this write combining memory is made available to a device driver.
