	Well, you could use AddMem, which can be found lurking on old
developers' disks, or old memory vendors' disks.

	There's also an Exec function:

	AddMemList (size, attributes, pri, base, name)

	LONG size;	/*  Size in bytes of the memory reigon.  */
	LONG attributes;  /*  Memory attributes (MEMF_FAST, etc.).  */
	LONG pri;	/*  Priority in the memory list (usually 0).  */
	APTR base;	/*  Base address of the memory reigon.  */
	char *name;	/*  Name (usually NULL)  */
