Mapping Device Memory

Drivers typically map all regions of a device during attach(9E). The driver maps a region of device memory by calling ddi_regs_map_setup(9F), specifying the register number of the region to map, the device access attributes for the region, an offset, and size. The DDI framework sets up the mappings for the device region and returns an opaque handle to the driver. This data access handle is passed as an argument to the ddi_get8(9F) or ddi_put8(9F) family of routines when reading data from or writing data to that region of the device.

The driver verifies that the shape of the device mappings match what the driver is expecting by checking the number of mappings exported by the device. The driver calls ddi_dev_nregs(9F) and then verifies the size of each mapping by calling ddi_dev_regsize(9F).
