These cam_sim_alloc() calls seem to be fairly critical to the operation
     of DPT and friends, why is it even possible for them to return NULL
     in the first place and what would be the effect of a (properly handled)
     NULL return if it did occur at this point?

:Bah, but with this patch that avoids the NULL pointer dereference
:we start leaking devq.  Attached is a more complete patch, and for
:dev/irr/irr.c too.
