OK, I have now had a machine hand again, with the correct debug options in
the kernel. The screen looked like this when I went to restart it:

It had not, however, dropped into any kind of debugger. Also there appear
to me console messages after the lock order reversal - is that normal ?
The machine did stay up for a signifanct amount of time before doing this. I
notice that it is more or less identical to the one I posted whenI
had WITNESS_KDB in the kernel too, so maybe those results arent
entirely suprious after all ?
Given it hasnt dropped to a debugger, is there anything else I can try ?
