>Description:
	Setting ddb.onpanic to 0 is not enough to ensure that the
	machine doesn't drop into ddb on certain errors.  Various
	pieces of code call Debugger() directly, without checking
	db_onpanic, #ifdef DDB.

	Finding all such places is fairly easy:
	% cd /sys
	% find . -type f -name '*.[ch]' -print | xargs egrep -l Debugger

	Filtering out false positives is tedious.  An eyeball search,
	with all the error potential that implies, gives the following
	list of files, versions, and approximate line numbers.  I have
	omitted cases where the Debugger() call is conditional on
	something like a run-time subsystem-specific debugging bit that
	would not normally be turned on (even in a DEBUG and DIAGNOSTIC
	kernel), and calls conditional on things like boothowto&RB_KDB
	that are *supposed* to call Debugger regardless.  When
	uncertain, I've tried to err on the side of false positives.

	There are a bunch more that possibly should be conditional on
	db_fromconsole (but aren't).

	arch/next68k/next68k/machdep.c 1.29 line 1004 looks suspicious
	given the "...or parity errors" part of the comment above the
	function.

	arch/arm32/shark/scr.c 1.6 may need attention too; I'm not
	sure.
>How-To-Repeat:
	Trip over one of the conditions tested in any of the
	files/lines listed above.  Note that you get dropped into DDB
	even if ddb.onpanic is zero.
>Fix:
	Someone needs to look at each of the above and decide what the
	Right Thing is in each case.  Some of them may be right; AFAICT
	there is no uniform routine like panic() for "drop into DDB if
	present, otherwise ignore", but some of the above look like
		#ifdef DDB
			Debugger();
		#else
			panic(...);
		#endif
	which is appropriate only when the condition might be
	recoverable by poking at things in DDB - and even then, there
	should be a way to set it for unattended operation.
