* In general it is not permitted to sleep in that context as it
* can cause the loop to spin freely.
* That doesn't apply here as we can only reach this point
* once with any loop.
* When this function completes, either bp[page].map or
* bp[page].hijacked. In either case, this function will
* abort before getting to this point again. So there is
* no risk of a free-spin, and so it is safe to assert
* that sleeping here is allowed.
