And it immediately calls pmap_enter() if the mapping would succeed.  There
is no instance I can find where if the d_mmap() routine is called and
returns a success, pmap_enter is not immediately called.  I see no other
calls just to check for permissions.

That would also work.  Probably good to have it called for unmapping
(pmap_remove()) so the driver (and bus_space*()) can free up any resources
they may have needed to allocate for the mapping.
