Weird, I don't see anything offhand that syscons is doing that would cause it
to leak Giant.  Hmm.  Can you add a the same code before the mtx_enter() of
Giant?  (But after the mtx_exit() of callout_lock to be on the safe side). 
Also, add in a 'mtx_assert(&Giant, MA_NOTOWNED);' in between teh splx() and
splhigh() right below the "Give interrupts a chance" comment up about 15 lines
or so.
