I think other things use it, IOMD possibly. As I said it locked up (normally
doing a make build) I suspect that we need to work out what buffers are DMA
and make the malloc's use a dma version. Preference would be to not use the
simms but for DMA. However it needs pmap work I believe. I've not got time
at the mo to investigate, I'm moving in a few days time.
