    I'm not convinced the terminal kernels need yet more memory.
    
    As far as the delay is concerned, is this a multiprocessor 
    terminal?  If you're on a uniprocessor then it should not
    reboot on panic -- the if(active.ispanic && m->machno==0)
    case should trigger, leading into the for(;;)halt(); loop.
    
    What am I missing?

    Simplified the code a little - mp terminals should no longer
    reboot on panic.
