Thanks!

Another thing I noticed is that the panic handler calls bcon_write(),
and it doesn't write to the device by itself.  Is it really supposed
to work?

Meanwhile I hacked the code to allow it being built as a module.
If anyone is interested, I'll send a patch series.  It's pretty
hackish, so likely need more brush up, though.
