This was self-inflicted. When I removed the spontaneous partition table rereading code from devfs, I did not notice that get_removal_partition does a read_unlock(&parent->u.dir.lock), so I was leaving a read lock in place where I deleted the call to this routine. Sorry for wasting anyone else's time with it.
