It won't do anything useful though, and probably crash your machine if  
you'e trying to use it.
The NetBSD-specific code in there will try to mmap() PCI devices  
through /dev/mem which only works on a handful architectures, IIRC  
alpha isn't one of them. The libpciaccess in -current, along with  
relevant kernel changes, should work on alpha although I have no idea  
if libpciaccess is supposed to deal with sparse/dense mappings, if it  
is it won't work either.

have fun
