Are you creating lots of PAGs?  In the present (magic groups)
implementation, you can run out of PAGs so there's some throttling on
k_setpag() which will just block the calling process.

Derrick: could we get a kernel message when this occurs?  Its not
documented anywhere AFAIK and quite mysterious to troubleshoot if you
don't already know about it.
