Yep.

AFAIU, panic() should just set few flags and, if there are no any
debuggers, call cpu_reboot() which is very simple at panic mode.

Thus, the stopper for default kernel is DDB only (please see sys/kern/
subr_prf.c for details). You may turn it off with ddb.onpanic=0 sysctl
or using your own kernel with "option DDB_ONPANIC=0" set (or without
DDB at all).
