I thought about it for a second, but couldn't figure out if this race
was real.

E.g. uart case - if there are two paths which concurrently free and
access debug object, then the same race condition should exist for
the xmit.buf page. debug object's lifespan should be the same as the
lifespan of, ummm, whatever the thing that debug object is attached
to? I'm surely missing something here.
