Er, SWIs are interrupts too.  Trying to sleep in a SWI handler should
cause the same message.  This commit uses the general taskqueue SWI
handler.  taskqueue(9) implicitly says that only the taskqueue thread
handler can sleep (it gives malloc(M_WAITOK) as an example of something
that can only be done in thread context).
