You don't want to do this.

Ok, maybe you do want to do this, but I don't think any NetBSD driver
(especially for machine-independent busses like PCI, ISA or SBUS) should
be written linke this.

Even if it were guaranteed to work by the bus_xxx() stuff, which it isn't and
can't be, it would be non-portable code, working only on a single cpu with
a single compiler.
