Is there a way to reserve exact memory address?



Hi all,

it seems that I have faulty memory in my laptop. This Big problem
is this: the faulty DIMM is fixed and cannot be replaced.

I used to Memtest86 to test the memory and I have an idea, which address
space is faulty. So is there a way to tell the kernel, that I want address
space from 0xYYYYYYYY - 0xZZZZZZZZ to be reserved for a RAM drive or what
ever, as long as the memory is reserved and never used, it would
probably stop BSODs.
