You could "fix" this by creating an sglist (via sglist_build()) and an
OBJT_SG VM object that the d_mmap_single callback returned.  I wish there
was a cleaner way to just create a VM object and populate it with pages
though, and then use vm_map_insert() to map it into the kernel rather
than the more roundabout method of OBJT_SG.
