It's less ugly than it used to be, esp. with the bus_read_X() stuff. There's
no separate bus_alloc_resource/bus_setup_intr for interrupts though for

IOMemoryMap *myBarMap;
void *myBar;
How does one get the pid if a child process that has exited? On other
systems this is available in siginfo_t but si_pid seems to be 0. Is
