I preload the module, and during boot I see a panic when it attempts to initialise. 100% reproducible. The panic seems to happen in pmap_kthread... (mumble) ... I got this from a ddb 'trace' command. During normal operations I see that it has installed itself as some kind of kernel thread - don't know the precise terminology for this, but ps ax says - 0 ?? DLs 0:00.00 (swapper) 1 ??
