NT driver address space

[Alexander Morozov]

Hi,

Under Wine NT drivers are running in user address space. Some drivers do not 
work correctly because of this. For example Guardant USB token driver crashes 
when loading but this problem can be fixed with such patch (really I tested 
with our wine fork):

I see two ways of fixing this.
1. Modify wine to run winedevice.exe in kernel address space (> 0x80000000) by 
checking name of executable.
2. Modify ExAllocatePool and some other functions to use kernel address space, 
modify functions which is used by drivers (ntoskrnl.exe exports etc.) to use 
only this memory allocation functions, modify winedevice.exe to load driver 
and create stack in kernel address space.
What is better decision?
