This would involves context switching to the X server process and
letting it run, which you don't want to do if you've just panic'ed
because of a consistancy check suggesting that kernel memory may be
curdled.

DDB should just be bypassed when a graphics console is in graphics
mode and wscons doesn't know how to drop it back to text mode..  we
should go straight to a crash dump (which *does* work when you're in
graphics mode..)
