I need (want) to allocate block of memory for POSIX timers in about page
size chuncks.  Currently I am using kmalloc() to allocate a page at a
time.  I don't want to have to worry about mapping/unmapping etc.  I
just what to go about using the memory.  It will be used for timers so
it must not be paged.  

Is kmalloc() the best interface to use or is there a better one?
