This call to alloc the memory seems to say 0xa0000 is the first valid 
start address:

if (bus_dma_tag_create(/* parent */ NULL, /* alignment */ 2, 0,
     /* lowaddr below 1MB */ 0x9ffff,
     /* highaddr */ BUS_SPACE_MAXADDR, NULL, NULL,
     PAGE_SIZE, 1, PAGE_SIZE, 0, busdma_lock_mutex,
     &Giant, &acpi_waketag) != 0)

In any case, you're right about needing to invalidate the mapping after 
creating it so feel free to commit.  Do we also need this after 
pmap_enter() in acpi_sleep_machdep() (i386/acpica/acpi_wakeup.c)?
