Kalloc and lck_mtx_lock

I've read in Amit Singh's OS X Internals book that it's not safe to call OSMalloc/kalloc while holding a "simple lock", are lck_mtx_t's therefore safe to hold when calling one of these functions?

If not, then is there any way of doing so? Perhaps by using a different kind of lock or different kind of alloc function?

Thanks,
- Greg
