The fact that reboot eventually came back shows that the system is not
deadlocked.  "user map" and "allproc" refer to the wait channel names.
"user map" is not very helpful to me (it's the lock associated with a
class of vm maps and tracking where it's waited on is not easy).
"allproc" refers to allproc_lock.

The output from "vmstat -i" would be interesting, though it may not
respond...

How difficult would it be to build a test system somewhere where the
console was accessible?  I don't think you are going to make progress
without console access.
