If it seems like magic, that's because it is. :) For PnP busses like
PCI, ISAPnP, and ISA-ACPI/LPC-ACPI, the OS takes care of figuring out
what resources to use and allocates them.

I almost forgot, the busdma functions work for non-PnP busses like
really old ISA cards as well. The only difference is that the user has
to specify the resources manually in /boot/device.hints, but there's a
standard API for this as well.
