Just to be sure, I tried this diff and it still fails with the broken
probes.

In this particular case I've been using the 545S since it panics on
startup rather than after the system is 95% of the way through booting.
After the bad probe, it finally fails with things like:
sd0: invalid partition table (or is that invalid partition magic?)
error 22: panic: cannot mount root (2)
If I do a trace at that point, the nesting is so deep that it scrolls well
off the screen so I can't see the more interesting top few stack frames.
Do you have a nutshell summary of what all the bus dma calls do so that I
have a better chance of finding more useful hints as to what's wrong?
Also, what is the function of this variable?
static bus_addr_t bounce_lowaddr = BUS_SPACE_MAXADDR;
It's set to 0xffffffff. (2^32-1) but appears to be used in a role that I'd
almost expect that it was meant to be 0x00ffffff.. On the other hand, it
almost looks stale too since contigmalloc always gives a good page.
Cheers,
-Peter
