:Hmm. The way the revamped console code works is this:
:
: cn_devopen() calls vn_open() to open the device. If this is not a
:VCHR device, then it is closed. Otherwise, the vnode is stashed in
:cnd->cnd_vp.
:
: When the device is closed though cnclose(), it walks through a list
:of console devices, and if cnd_vp != NULL, calls vn_close() for that
:vnode, and then NULLs out cnd_vp. (drops the reference.)
:
: My understanding is that vn_open/vn_close will track the count of
:outstanding references to the vnode, so this should be safe to do.

The panic is due to v_writecount not being properly adjusted. If a
vnode is opened with FWRITE in vn_open(), then it must be closed with
VWRITE in vn_close() or v_writecount will not be properly adjusted and cause
the panic in question to occur later in vrele().
I suspect that this is the problem with the devfs/console code.
