The problem is consistent_alloc().  When it was written, it didn't need
to handle allocations from interrupts.  However, the spec changed, and
it does now.  However, calling it from interrupt context is currently
completely unsafe, and "stuff" needs to be rewritten to support it.
(where "stuff" is more code than just consistent.c)

We basically need to end up allocating and manipulating page tables
from IRQ context without trampling on what vmalloc is doing.

It's something on my to do list; it's a large amount of work, and it's
just not high priority for me currently.
