pmap_foo() doesn't change much. :)  One reason I would prefer the 
kenter/invalidate is that we explicitly assume a single page for the boot 
code when we go to allocate an address for it, so I'd kind of like to keep it 
as an explicit assumption, but I'd be ok with just adding a KASSERT(size <= 
PAGE_SIZE, ("bewm"));  Also, I think your end va needs to be boot_address + 
size -1 so that if size == PAGE_SIZE you don't bogusly try to map the first 
page of Video RAM as read/write memory.
