| The problem here is that the i386 nexus_alloc_resource() unconditionally 
| calls pmap_mapdev() to map any memory-type resource into the kernel.  
| This is definitely a bad idea; IMHO we should only do this when the 
| resource is actually activated (and obviously free it when deactivated).
| 
| Commentary?  Should I just commit the change and see what happens? 8)

Commit and see what happens.  I'll keep the pointy had warm for you. 8)
