What kind of memory are you trying to access?  Are you trying to access
memory on the card that is pointed to by PCI base address registers?  If
so then you need to use the bus_space API.  Or are you trying to 
allocate memory in the kernel and then give the physical address of that
memory to your card?  If so then you need to use bus_dma.  Both Warner 
and I are happy to help guide you with these APIs.
