I don't think it's the problem of our M_WAITOK implementation.  You
could change the caller to use other kmalloc flag so that the system

I realize this. However, we should avoid panicing if possible. So why not print a warning ("allocated more than the limit") and continue? If nothing happens, great! If we run out of memory, we still can panic later.
