This backtrace was obtained by running GDB on a kernel crash dump.  DDB
is the in-kernel debugger which allows you to see a backtrace (among
other things) at the time the panic happens, before dumping and
rebooting.

This is a notebook that lacks a serial interface.  DDB can only print to
the console, so it just tries to produce a dump and reboots.
