Ok. The third parameter of vm_page_alloc_contig says the caller has
to specify an allocation class. Which one should we use?
Also the vm_object_t and the vm_memattr_t are are beyond my
knowledge. I'm checking Arch Book but I have no clue. Here I'm lost.

I don't understand why the bt doesn't contain the complete trace of
the vbox kmod. That would give us a complete clue of what is going on.
OTOH this bt makes me think that Gleb's suggestion is correct and
vm_page_alloc_contig would appear to be a better option. However I'm not
sure, what do you think?
