I did the following in Nubus video driver: I extracted the physical
address of ite buffer, the physical address of the current grf buffer
and simply compared them. It was a "quick fix" kind of solution, I
noticed that the newwest kernels have "extern caddr_t conspa"
declaration which holds the physical address of ite buffer.
