Because Hannu would like to allocate some 64K of contiguous DMA space
(if memory serves me correctly - it might be only 16K) and FreeBSD
doesn't allow that once the system is up to the stage where an LKM
would be loaded.  We've talked to John Dyson about it and he's
promised to try and work something out, though the problem is also not
entirely trivial to fix, apparently.
