This is on purpose.  I started it to dump core on panic so there's
something more for me to look at besides a stack trace.  This is also
why it started printing the core dump limits.

Granted, this looks sort of silly when the panic is due to no root
filesystem, but it is very useful when there's some segfault in some
random place in the kernel.
