memory testing

Hi,

We are trying to design a memory test for board design verification.
For some memory testing algorithms to work, we need to access large buffers of physically contiguous memory from user space.
For this purpose, i am trying to come up with a loadable kernel module that will have a memory allocator whose job is to organize the user-space & kernel space memory into blocks of an array and export that array to the user-space application.
It seems i cannot use __get_free_pages (GFP_USER, order), as it still allocated kernel memory.
Any ideas on what/how i can achieve my design goals?

thanks,
lcb
