Son, you need to step back and think about the problem you are solving,
instead of asking all of us to do this work for you.  What you are
asking here is common sense information that YOU should be able to
figure out.  As it is, it sounds like you are trying to hack up a driver
without a clear understanding of how it works, or what you need the
result to do.

If you aren't doing DMA, then you don't need special DMA-ready memory. 
You don't need a common buffer.  You just a piece of normal memory.  You
know how to allocate memory in a kernel driver, right?

But are you sure you will need an extra buffer at all, if you don't
really have hardware?  What is the common buffer used for?  If its sole
purpose is to send a buffer to the hardware, then why do you need it at all?
