Yes, that's where it is.
401 if (fContiguous)
402 {
403 Assert(enmType == RTR0MEMOBJTYPE_PHYS);
404 VM_OBJECT_LOCK(pMemFreeBSD->pObject);
405 pMemFreeBSD->Core.u.Phys.PhysBase =
VM_PAGE_TO_PHYS(vm_page_find_least(pMemFreeBSD->pObject, 0));
406 VM_OBJECT_UNLOCK(pMemFreeBSD->pObject);
407 pMemFreeBSD->Core.u.Phys.fAllocated = true;
408 }

This takes me out of my depth in my very limited experience of C but would it be
this, also in memobj-r0drv-freebsd.c:
50 /**
51 * The FreeBSD version of the memory object structure.
52 */
53 typedef struct RTR0MEMOBJFREEBSD
54 {
55 /** The core structure. */
56 RTR0MEMOBJINTERNAL Core;
57 /** Type dependent data */
58 /** The VM object associated with the allocation. */
59 vm_object_t pObject;
60 } RTR0MEMOBJFREEBSD, *PRTR0MEMOBJFREEBSD;
and then:
109 PRTR0MEMOBJFREEBSD pMemFreeBSD = (PRTR0MEMOBJFREEBSD)pMem;

Version 4.1.8_1 seems to be working OK for me so I'll probably stick with that for
the time being unless a fix turns up before I upgrade to 9.0-RELEASE which I'm
planning to do shortly.
