init_module() is executed in the context of the normal Linux kernel where
kmalloc() also lives.
It's almost guaranteed to hang the system if you call a normal Linux kernel
function inside a real-time thread because the Linux scheduler then takes
over, usually with interrupts really turned off and they never get turned
back on again.
