Well, yea, but I'd rather have a blocking kldload than a panic'ed
system. There are probably more such places. Actually I think this
limit business is stupid. Rather than panicing, we could print a
warning and go on. The worst thing could be that we'll panic lateron
because we don't have free memory anymore.
