Exactly.  See I don't really _want_ the physical address and I only
need it because the current vm routines aren't set up to use virtual
addresses.  I'm hoping eventually not to need the physical address by
fixing the vm but that's going to require changes that will take some
time to get working.

Any other ideas?  Comments?  Can I get this patch in?
