David, have you actually tried to boot with your patch in place?
Every single change you made is wrong. You converted:

	if (cond)
		panic("message");

to:

	KASSERT(cond, "message");

But assertions don't work this way. It should be:

	KASSERT(!cond, "message");

One more thing:

You replaced printf() with KASSERT(9) here, not panic(9).
