System: NetBSD kolvir.arlington.ma.us 1.4X NetBSD 1.4X (KOLVIR) #4: Sun Apr 9 17:56:09 EDT 2000 jtk@kolvir.arlington.ma.us:/usr/u4/sandbox/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/KOLVIR i386

>Description:
The change adding APM_ALLOW_BOGUS_SEGMENTS won't work right if the
physical address specified by the BIOS is not in the ISA memory hole.
The segment is mapped using a virtual address coputed with ISA_HOLE_VADDR()
which won't necessarily work right for other physical addresses.

>How-To-Repeat:
	
>Fix:
If an address outside the "known good" sections is required, then the
driver must ensure that the physical page is reserved for APM's use, and
arrange/compute a virtual mapping in kernel address space.
