This is a Quick Hack (but it works), so don't comment on the coding style 
please!

Cheers,

bool mapMemory (ulong PhysicalAddr, ulong SizeOfRegion,
               int *Selector, ulong *LinearAddress)

    info.address    = PhysicalAddr;
    info.size       = SizeOfRegion;

    if (__dpmi_physical_address_mapping (&info) == -1)
        return false;

    ulong       laddress = info.address;
