Easy:

Between 4.3BSD and 4.3-tahoe, Mike fixed the Unibus code so that it
understands having map registers at a different location from Unibus
adapter registers (if any), and to catch bugs, set the `adapter'
register address to 0xc0000000.  That one got caught.

The map registers are now at uhp->uh_mr, rather than
&uhp->uh_uba->uba_map[0].

This does not affect well-behaved vaxif drivers, as they all go
through vaxif/if_uba.c.  (The ACC drivers are not well-behaved.)
