Correction, that should have been:

call wakeup(uvmexp+0x10)
continue

(Both calls are generally safe to try; wakeup won't dereference the
argument you give as a pointer -- it will only walk an existing data
structure and compare against the argument for equality to decide what
threads to wake up, if any.  So most likely, the worst case is that
the system will just remain stuck as before when you continue from
ddb.)
