The panic handlers in our modeset code are pretty decent fubar - they
take mutexes all over the place. So I think the backtrace you see
there is actually a secondary effect. I've looked into fixing this up,
but the issue is that drivers themselves have tons of state protected
with mutexes, which all potentially affects the panic handler. So I've
given up on that for now ...
