ok, I'll need to hook up a console.

it's a new one I'm working on.

I'm pretty sure svd->parent_dmat is not NULL after allocation. The
call to bus_dma_tag_create() doesn't return an error in any case.
Commenting out lines 235-236 of src/sys/i386/i386/busdma_machdep.c
makes the panic go away for me.
