    sys/i386/i386        machdep.c 
  Log:
  Change M_NOWAIT to M_WAITOK.  This does not fix any known issues but it
  makes the code properly conform to the malloc API.  Using M_NOWAIT
  during booting to mean 'if we block here we would deadlock during boot' but
  then assuming that the return value is always non-NULL is worse then
  using M_WAITOK and potentially allowing the system to deadlock but, not
  really, because there is plenty of memory available during booting.
