If you try to allocate or reserve bootmem after the bootmem subsystem has
already been shut down and replaced with the real VM system, it would
succeed, but then your memory would silently get freed and could be
reallocated by the normal VM.
Add a few lines of code to catch this condition immediately rather than
manifesting as memory corruption.
