The deadlock resolver is compiled into the GENERIC kernel on -CURRENT, so I'm 
assuming it hasn't helped (or perhaps is even part of the problem).  I think 
the best thing to do at this point is to try to get into DDB.  Of the schemes 
I suggested to work around the X11 issue, switching to a virtual console 
before starting Chromium may work best, since it will continue to use the 
local X server, etc.
