:Using ctl-alt-esc is not possible here as I only have a serial
:console. I could add a panic() call in kern_shutdown.c however.

    Try 'options ALT_BREAK_TO_DEBUGGER' in your kernel.  This will enable
    the CR ~ ^B sequence (which can be typed on a serial console) to break
    into the debugger.
