there is documentation for memmmap.
there are no public docs for sysmap or i do see any.

after all it just works.
what is the problem redoing what just works because
it looks false? i dunno -- it works.

no it is not.
read the code and understand how it works before telling
me it is wrong.
devices are probed all in the right places where they are.
device probing on any  of the machines mentioned on
the supported list in hppa.html just works.

why are you boolshiting me that my code does not work?
