As someone who currently faces kernel panics with recent U7+ kernel patches

Are you referring the the same testing that gained you this PCI panic feature
in s10u7?
No. The system worked with the kernel patch corresponding to baseline
S10U7. Problems started with later kernel patches (which seem to be
much less tested). Of course there could actually be a real hardware
problem.
Regardless, when the integrity of our data is involved, I prefer to
wait for more testing rather than to potentially have to recover the
pool from backup.
