I can see how it becomes the problem: it frees and allocates a new
bitmap across a queue freeze, but bits in the old one might still be in
use.  This isn't a problem except when they return and we now possibly
see a tag greater than we think we can allocate coming back. 
Presumably we don't check this and we end up doing a write to
unallocated memory.

I think if you want to reallocate on queue depth reduction, you might
have to drain the queue as well as freeze it.
