You can't (yet).  There's no good way to do that currently.

Note that, as you say, drivers _usually_ use <arch>_btop(), but do not
always.  In general, what they use is an architecture-specific
decision, and requires cooperation between the drivers and the pmap
module.

Right now, you _have_ to use #ifdef.

Perhaps.  However:

(1) Plain physical addresses mean that here's some possibility for the
device mmap routine trying to return non-page-aligned values, which is
broken, and

(2) There aren't enough bits in a physical address to express the
return value of the device mmap properly, in all cases, from what I
understand, and a plain physical address isn't necessarily all that
you want to return.  E.g. on various sun boxes, don't you need a few
bits of 'space' information in addition to the physical address?
