Chris,

        I think somebody proposed this in the past and it was refused
because we better get rid of the panics and return an error, propagate
it and refuse to load the module, better have the machine still alive
but without networking than panic it.



Sounds good too.  Part of my thinking was that these patches would be a
good chance to review if these are necessarily panic conditions.  What was
the plan on error return, since I expect some caches are interdependent?


I lost track, perhaps we should push this to the janitor mailing list?

:-)
