That's interesting. You're asking for a page size (0x2000) on a non-page 
boundary (0xffc6.5000). The complaint is because it extends far enough 
to overlap with what the map_page_range above (0xffc6.6000).

The question is where those two addresses are coming from? 0xffc6.6000 
and 0xffc6.5000 are in the range Solaris would expect for Openboot - 
whoever came up with 0xffc6.5000 got it wrong, if he needs 0x2000 bytes, 
he needed to ask for 0xffc6.4000.

This is simply a matter of overlapping address ranges. Somewhere an 
allocator is getting the wrong result.
