Hey there,
Not sure what Freebsd you're trying to build but
here's a report found two years ago:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-bugs/2004-September/009307.html

Did a google search and that option appears to allow
the kernel to return from a panic.

Looks like a few users over the years have complained
about the RESTARTABLE_PANICS being broken. Might still
be.

Hope that helps.
