Virtual DMA Specification - LOCK DMA REGION

AX = 8103h
DX = flags (see #03220)
ES:DI -> DMA descriptor structure (see #03221,#03222,#03223)

Return:
CF clear if successful DDS physical address field filled in DDS buffer ID field filled (0000h if no buffer allocated) CF set on error AL = error code (see #03218) DDS region size field filled wth maximum contiguous length in bytes

BUGS: Windows 3.0 does not correctly support automatic remapping or copying in enhanced mode. Windows 3.0 in enhanced mode does not return a correct code on error
