>Description:
kqueue_scan() puts a marker element on the event list.
The marker element lives on the stack.
kqueue_scan() can block (example copyout) and its stack can
be swapped out.
The marker element might be accessed while the stack is swapped out.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
Use PHOLD/PRELE to prevent swapping or use
non stack memory for the marker element.
