I do not really understand your problem. dm_phys usually allocates all
memory it can get, so there's nothing to increase. Is this task running
in L4Linux? If so, what role does dm_phys play here? What do you mean
with "page faulted correctly" and then blocks? If the thread blocks the
reason could be a missing mapping.

Previous L4Linux versions could be shut down with this sequence as the
loader would special case this page fault. Now the region manager is
catching this and complaining, so this actually needs to be done in
other ways. (Simplest way, comment out the block and add a
l4_sleep_forever()). I guess 2.6 does it right.
Anyway, rebooting isn't possible anyway so 'halt' has the same meaning
here.
