Sure, that's what the code is doing.  It's a multi-step thing.  Doing
it every time explicitly is cumbersome, that's why I created the
helper function.  Also, I'm not convinced that undoing the mappings is
necessary, as we're shutting down the system.

The proper thing to do is of course to include ACPICA.  This way we
can also use ACPI for hardware discovery aiui.
