I've noticed that pci_map_mem() reports a failure (in the form of a 
display to the screen) if the PCI memory space is below 1 MB (dos
space), but that the function returns OK and a virtual mapping is
returned as well. There's a comment (in german) in the source, and
my German is rather weak (there seems to be a reference to PCI-
PCI bridges) .....is this a real failure, a warning, or does FreeBSD
not support PCI memory in the DOS hole (not that you'd actually
WANT to put it there...)?

Thanks,

Dennis
