I tried to kldload acpi on a system that has been running for about 3
days, and the kldload process has been sitting there swapping for
about an hour now.  Breaking into DDB shows that
acpi_alloc_wakeup_handler() is trying to contigmalloc(), and this is
swapping around presumably trying to find enough space.  The kldload
process is unkillable from userland because it's working in the
kernel.

Can something be done to guard against this?
