The easiest thing to do is to use CWSDPR0.  It should run
any normal DJGPP image without recompling.

If you want to use the normal image, you can allocate a
descriptor and set it's attributes using DPMI services to
be a RING 0 call gate to do what you need.  You would need
an Intel architecture manual to describe the details.
