In addition, if we don't freeze, some drivers, eg. video drivers, can do allocations in the megabyte range. It seems to me that without the freezer we will end up with many drivers needing a two step notification process. Furthermore there are requirements on the order of shutting down system facilities, eg. device addition must be stopped before drivers allocate firmware.
