Since posting this I found a thread that said something about mmap no longer
supporting /dev/kmem. If that's that case I need to find another method. No
sense spending a day debugging something thatisn't supposed to work.
SHOULD this still work? This always worked fine with non-wired memory but maybe
things have changed since 9.
