Sorry to be rather late to the party; the Internet connection I'm using
at the moment is a bit flaky.  (I'm out of town.)

I managed to get head/i386 _at_r254135 built and booting ... by removing
the "options DEBUG_MEMGUARD" from my kernel.

However, that merely prevented a (very!) early panic, and got me to the
point where trying to start xdm with the x11/nvidia-driver as the
display driver causes an immediate reboot (no crash dump, despite
'dumpdev="AUTO"' in /etc/rc.conf).  No drop to debugger, either.

Booting & starting xdm with the nv driver works -- that's my present
environment as I am typing this.

However, the panic with DEBUG_MEMGUARD may offer a clue.  Unfortunately,
it's early enough that screen lock/scrolling doesn't work, and I only
had the patience to write down partof the panic information.  (This is
on my laptop; no serial console, AFAICT -- and no device to capture the
output if I did, since I'm not at home.)

The top line of the screen (at the panic) reads:

s/kern/subr_vmem.c:1050

The backtrace has the expected stuff near the top (about kbd, panic, and
memguard stuff); just below that is:

vmem_alloc(c1226100,6681000,2,c1820cc0,3b5,...) at 0xc0ac5673=vmem_alloc+0x53/frame 0xc1820ca0

Caveat: that was hand-transcribed from the screen to papaer, then
hand-transcribed from paper to this email message.  And my highest grade
in "Penmanship" was a D+.

Be that as it may, here's the relevant section of subr_vmem.c with line
numbers (cut/pasted, so tabs get munged):

   1039 /*
   1040  * vmem_alloc: allocate resource from the arena.
   1041  */
   1042 int
   1043 vmem_alloc(vmem_t *vm, vmem_size_t size, int flags, vmem_addr_t *addrp)
   1044 {
   1045         const int strat __unused = flags & VMEM_FITMASK;
   1046         qcache_t *qc;
   1047 
   1048         flags &= VMEM_FLAGS;
   1049         MPASS(size > 0);
   1050         MPASS(strat == M_BESTFIT || strat == M_FIRSTFIT);
   1051         if ((flags & M_NOWAIT) == 0)
   1052                 WITNESS_WARN(WARN_GIANTOK | WARN_SLEEPOK, NULL, "vmem_alloc");
   1053
   1054         if (size <= vm->vm_qcache_max) {
   1055                 qc = &vm->vm_qcache[(size - 1) >> vm->vm_quantum_shift];
   1056                 *addrp = (vmem_addr_t)uma_zalloc(qc->qc_cache, flags);
   1057                 if (*addrp == 0)
   1058                         return (ENOMEM);
   1059                 return (0);
   1060         }
   1061
   1062         return vmem_xalloc(vm, size, 0, 0, 0, VMEM_ADDR_MIN, VMEM_ADDR_MAX,
   1063             flags, addrp);
   1064 }


This is at r254025.
