I'd like to develop a kernel module for FreeBSD, able to read & write
directly to VGA text-mode screen buffer. I know that this buffer is located
at 0xB8000 in physical address space. But in kernel I must address it using
kernel virtual address space.

Thus, the question is: how can I _correctly_ convert physical address into
kernel virtual address?

Now I use the following trick: 0xC0000000 + 0xB8000, but I want to use more
correct method. :)

thanks.
