OK indeed it did have a couple of bugs. Firstly, I wasn't freeing the
data properly in the alloc && wait case. Secondly, I wasn't resetting
CSD_FLAG_WAIT in the for each cpu loop (so only the first CPU would
wait).

After those fixes, the patch boots and runs with the kmalloc commented
out (so it always executes the slowpath).
