Not sure what "hanged on the kernel aobj" means. :) But I see the problem.
By wired you mean mapping is unmanaged now, therefore redzone page unmap
loses the track of physical page, and thus it gets leaked.

I wonder what would be a good way to fix this.  Perhaps allocate VA and
manually enter physical pages (leaving the gap for redzone)?  Would get a
little bit more complex (as for diagnostic case).  On the other hand, I
think it would be good to setup redzone at MI level, instead of strictly
keeping it MD.

Also, is there a reason to have x86 uarea layout different from other ports?

Thanks a lot for reviewing this!
