>Description:
A kernel with DEBUG fails to boot up on a KVM since the commit
"Introduce uvm_hotplug(9) to the kernel.".

Before introducing the feature, a kernel boots up with the following message:

  >> NetBSD/x86 PXE boot, Revision 5.1 (from NetBSD 6.0)
  >> Memory: 625/1046288 k
  Press return to boot now, any other key for boot menu
  booting netbsd - starting in 0 seconds.     
  PXE BIOS Version 2.1
  Using PCI device at bus 0 device 6 function 0
  Ethernet address 52:54:00:bb:18:46
  6091699+3349216+984352 [646536+430846]=0xc299b0
  kernel text is mapped with 4 large pages and 0 normal pages
  ksyms: checking .text
  ksyms: checking .rodata
  ksyms: checking .eh_frame
  ...

After introducing the feature, the kernel seems to hang before outputting
"kernel text is mapped ...". boot -x doesn't show nothing. Removing
virtio balloon doesn't help as well.

If disable DEBUG. the kernel boots up successfully.

Note that a kernel with or without DEBUG boots up on a physical machine
(and ESXi as saying by hikaru@) without any problems.
>How-To-Repeat:
Build a kernel with DEBUG, and boot it on a KVM.
>Fix:
n/a
