You're right, it can be found at least in MIPS and amd64.

The idiom is a bit different in amd64: the variable in the for-loop isn't immediately reused, but it's a global variable anyway...  That's what I thought deserves a comment.

Regarding the pmap_kenter_temporary(), the first problem is the function name: it might be a temporary mapping, but the real use is for crash dumps (I wonder why ACPI abuses this mapping).  The other problem is the fact that a pmap function is so tied to crash dumps.  However, that's a bigger problem.
