i only recently figured out that af-to is very special in pf, but i dont
think it should be.
currently af-to has the following restrictions:
1. it only works for incoming packets, ie, you can only use it on "pass
in" rules in pf.
2. it forces the translated packet to be forwarded.
a consequence of these, and 2 in particular, is that only one state is
created for an af-to connection over the firewall. this is unlike other
forwarded connections where there's generally two states created, one
when the packet comes in from the wire into the stack, and another when
the packet goes out from the stack to the wire.

Log message:
viogpu_wsmmap() returns a kva but instead should return a physical
address via bus_dmamem_mmap(9). Without this, QEMU would only show a
black screen when starting X11. On the Apple Hypervisor, the kernel
would panic.
