... or memory where console is mapped.

Correct me if I'm wrong -- as long as those pages are mapped outside

  VM_MIN_KERNEL_ADDRESS ... VM_MAX_KERNEL_ADDRESS

region it's fine to keep them out of uvm(9) knowledge. Otherwise,
uvm(9) needs to know so that we don't get two mappings for the same
kva by accident (on ibm4xx this is considered a "programming error"
and the behaviour is "undefined" -- I guess other ports will be
similar).

Most evbppc ports are buggy ITR, I'm currently cleaning up a fix.
