I still don't understand how can this scenario happen practically at
runtime (a scenario without me tuning the failure for testing). Memory
allocation failure shouldn't be possible at this point and any
workaround related failure would have happened at boot. I don't see
anything else or my understanding may not be correct...
However, if some new capability would be introduced one day and it
could fail, it would be good if we don't have to go back and fix this
patch.
At the end, it doesn't matter since the system will be able to
properly deal with such a scenario with the fix.

Thanks,
Mirela
