or introduce optional d_foo entry points.
for the purpose of udv_attach, it's a little silly to call a driver for
every single page frames.

as foreign pages can't be represented by paddr_t, some tricks are
necessary for d_mmap+pmap_enter in udv_fault.

you can, but i think it's better to actually implement mmap.
