When the system panics, it reboots immediately. On some systems (i386 :),
it's too fast to read anything. Thus, being able to at least halt the
machine if needed would be nice. What do people think about a
HALT_ON_PANIC kernel option? Implementation below...

I'd to commit this, unless someone has objections.
