Giri, you got it all wrong. The name AllocateSharedMemory is actually
pretty unfortunate because it does make one think of Linux kernel shared
memory which is a totally different thing. AllocateSharedMemory
allocated DMA-coherent memory which has nothing to do with shared memory
in Linux.

The problem is probably that the driver is allocate more DMA-coherent
memory than the kernel can provide. It would be nice to know just how
much memory the driver tried to allocate. Can you look into that Paul?
