The DPB structures of the block device driver created by update_dcb() are created in an area which eventually gets assigned as free space for use by MCBs. This is because the use of KernelAlloc instead of DynAlloc when the memory subsystem is not fully initialized yet.

For more explanation see #148 (comment)

Probably there are more uses of KernelAlloc in early stages for memory that has to be persistent. Kernel should ne audited for such use-cases.
