: They look related.  I've now found the orm output:
: 
:   orm0: <Option ROMs> at iomem 0xe0000-0xe3fff,0xdf800-0xdffff,0xd0000-0xd17ff,0xc0000-0xcefff on isa0

Hmmmm, The list comes from scanning the "ISA HOLE" for certain memory
signatures.  These signatures have a length in them that say "I'm a
rom that's X long".  I don't think that it suggests that things are
'unmapped'...

I don't, I'm sorry.
