OK, another printf() produces the following information:
gm->fbbase = 0x8347400, gm->fboff = 0x400
So, adding these two numbers together gives us 0x8347800, which as Jason
points out will always make pmap_extract() return something with low order
bits set to 0x800.
Given that my video card's frame buffer physical address is 0xfd000400, I
rather suspect that the gm->fboff is correct; of course, this means that
the gm->fbbase is incorrect.
So, since this worked before (as recently as April 28th), does any one
know what's changed? :)
