GENERIC kernel without WITNESS/DEBUG works here on U60(CURRENT). 
But loading libiconv.ko or linking kernel with "options LIBICONV"
I got the panic in the following code path.

panic: trap: fast data access mmu miss
panic messages:
---

cpuid = 0
KDB: enter: panic

This trace is somewhat different in ddb. But I believe gdb53's trace
is correct. I can reliably panic the system with "sysctl kern.random"
command after loading libiconv.ko module. So I guess something is
wrong in iconv.
