"The problem with the approach taken both in _bus_dmamap_load_pages and
bus_dmamap_load_ma_triv is that they split the request buffer into
arbitrary chunks based on page boundaries, creating segments that no
longer have a size that's a multiple of the sector size. This breaks
drivers like blkfront (and probably other stuff)." [1]
This was most easily triggered by running `fsck /` on a system running
in Xen (e.g. Amazon EC2) but also showed up via growfs(8) and probably
many other userland tools which access the disk directly.
