Many years ago there was the possibility that malloc M_WAITOK could

Are we certain this is no longer true?
That hasn't been true in a long while.  In edge cases malloc() with M_WAITOK
will just panic rather than return NULL.  (e.g. "kmem too small")

what happens if you call reboot while it is waiting for free space?
