This is pretty much identical to the panic Jan Srzednicki reported,
wherein the syscons code under DDB calls into the TTY code (and really
shouldn't).  The low level polled console I/O routines are not supposed to
mess with schedulers, etc, etc.  CC'ing Doug White since he expressed some
interest in all this :-).
