Architectural consistency? The man page says:

     bus_dmamap_load_raw(tag, dmam, segs, nsegs, size, flags)
              This is a variation of bus_dmamap_load() which maps buffers al-
              located by bus_dmamem_alloc() (see below).  The segs argument is
              an array of bus_dma_segment_t's filled in by bus_dmamem_alloc().
              The nsegs argument is the number of segments in the array.  The
              size argument is the size of the DMA transfer.


It says absolutely nothing about mapping in or out of any address space.

So- which is it? Your comment (author's intention) or the man page?
