Absolutely! As I keep trying to explain to people, that's why there
*is* a separate activate function (or one of the reasons, anyway).

The problem here is that the i386 nexus_alloc_resource() unconditionally
calls pmap_mapdev() to map any memory-type resource into the kernel.

Hola,
As the subject indicated PNPBIOS and Dell PowerEdge servers seem
to be a recipe for disaster. This doesn't bother me too terribly

figured the new-bus folks didn't have enough to do, so I'd help.
This machine is a dual pIII/45
