[Click] Memory allocation

[Nilay Vaish]

I am running click at the kernel level. I have a click module, in which I 
need to allocate memory. The size of allocation can run in to GBs. I am 
currently using new operator to allocate the memory. For small sizes (a 
couple of MBs), new works fine. But for larger sizes, a segmentation fault 
occurs. Should I use a different function for allocation of memory? I 
think kernel modules do not use malloc / new.

Thanks
