Hmm.  _bus_dmamap_load_buffer doesn't handle delayed loads due to lack
of resources like bus_dmamap_load does (did).  I think you will need to
respect BUS_DMA_WAITOK/BUS_DMA_NOWAIT in the flags argument to
_bus_dmamap_load_buffer, and pass BUS_DMA_WAITOK in bus_dmamap_load and
BUS_DMA_NOWAIT in other cases.  If _bus_dmamap_load_buffer runs out of
resources it should return EINPROGRESS and queue the request if
BUS_DMA_WAITOK is specified, or return ENOMEM if BUS_DMA_NOWAIT is specified.

Disk drivers which use bounce buffers do not expect ENOMEM to be returned
from bus_dmamap_load, they expect EINPROGRESS to be returned and the callback
to be called later when enough resources are available, which will no longer
happen.
