I guess the question is how are you killing the userspace stap
processes, and how are you trying to manually remove the stap_XXXX
modules? If you just SIGINT the stap* processes, they should clean up
nicely after themselves. If you SIGKILL, then you take responsibility
for removing the kernel modules, which should be just an rmmod.

That trace appears to show some near-OOM conditions from stap scripts
that are trying to start up, as opposed to anything related to
shutdown. (The actual pattern indicates a fragmentation problem that
dsmith's commit 3f873e53e should fix.)
