The documentation on memory management refer in general to the Win32
functions that are accessible from Ring3 Application-level code.
=20
The only functions that allow allocation of non-paged pool are the ones
like ExAllocatePoolWithTag, which are not Ring3 API functions, but
device driver functions.

These are documented separately, and not callable by Ring3 application
code.
