Yes, in the Atari bus_space_map(), you could also detect if uvm_init()
hasn't yet been called (you can test to see if kernel_map == NULL), and
if so, cause bus_space_map() to use some statlically mapped region, like
the i386 port does.
The hp300 port's bus_space_map() uses a statically mapped region for
all of the "internal i/o" space. This region is set up in pmap_boostrap().
