You're right, bus_space_unphysload(9) (or *_physunload?) is needed.  We'll
need uvm_page_unphysload() too.

Unlike bus_space_mmap(9), bus_space_physload(9) is called when a device is
attached.  It prepares a context (struct vm_physseg internally) which is used
in fault handling (trap -> uvm_fault -> pmap_enter).
