1. Exactly how big is this structure? If it's too big, it may exceed the
amount of physical memory currently available.
2. Could you allocate the memory for it in advance of its use with kmalloc
(and friends)? Such requests can allow the kernel-task to be suspended
pending moving something (a user-task's memory) to the swap space to make
memory available for the kernel task. If such allocation is done in your
initialization section, there's no real penalty to being suspended once.
