I'm unclear why busdma can't help you.  You get access to both the PA
and VA via the busdma interface.  Otherwise, it would be impossible to
write a network driver.  The PA is given to you in the
bus_dmamap_load's callback function's segs and nseg argument.  The VA
is passed in via the bus_dmamap_load's 'buf' address and is allocated
elsewhere.  The typical usage is to fill in what you are calling the
sg_table in the callback and start the device's DMA.

You can get to this information at runtime, but it causes driver
portability problems and its use is strongly discouraged.  Since the
busdma functions deal with all these details, including bounce
buffering on large memory configurations, thier use is strongly
encouraged.  If I'm not understanding your needs, then you can find
all you need in the i386/i386/pmap.c and i386/include/pmap.h.  The vm
mapping functions can be found in include/vm*.h and vm/vm*.c.  Careful
study is needed to use them correctly, although some of them are
documented in man pages.
