So,

In order to reprogram a flash, I need to mmap the last page of physical
memory using /dev/mem:-)

If you look at the check in sys_mmap() in uvm_mmap.c, you'll note that
the test (if (pos+size == 0) || (!pos)) causes this to fail in the case
of the last page physical RAM (my example is at 0xFFF80000 size 0x80000
on i386).

Can someone suggest the best way to clean this up? It'd be a lot easier
in assembler by just checking for a carry :-)
