GEOM_AES using malloc with M_WAITOK

Hi List,

I'm new to geom and thought I'd take an easy class to learn. So I read
geom_aes.c and noticed that it uses the M_WAITOK flag with g_malloc. In
another place I read, that it is not OK to sleep in the g_up and g_down
threads. Isn't this g_malloc called in one of these threads?

Yes, I know that geom_aes is more for educational purpose. But then it
should be right even more.

regards
Marius
