Hmm, pmap_mapdev_attr() does the right thing, but there isn't a good way to
call that directly (and still get a valid bus handle/tag).  I have on my todo
to add a bus_map_resource() that would let you allocate a bus handle/tag that
1) is a subset of a resource, and 2) specifies a memory attribute.  It would
allow you to do this sanely.
