I would like to write a user level driver for a PCI device. Is that
possible?
The device will not generate interrupts. Can I do the following from
user
land?:

1) probe pci devices configured so I can detect if mine is installed?
2) Allocate contiguous memory, lock it and get its physical address
so I can pass it to controller for DMA?
3) Perform IO operations on device registers.

Thanks.
Deepinder.
