OK, I'm puzzled.

Am I the only one on this list who believes that a kernel panic, instead of 
EIO, represents a bug?

I think any use of cmn_err(CE_PANIC,...) should be seen very critical ... because it's either trying to hide that we haven't bothered to create recoverability for a known-to-be-problematic situation, or because it's used where an ASSERT() should've been used.
