You mean config_detach(), right?
That's certainly a nice check to see if everything is clean
and consistent. Generally, I'd prefer to see that as an option
rather than as standard behaviour -- as said, a reboot is
often done if signs of corruption are observed, and at that
point it only matters that disk buffers are flushed and the
CPU reset. Everything which could cause hangs or secondary
panics is not welcome.

best regards
Matthias
