Agreed, but I think for starters we should capture the low hanging fruit by calling the shutdown method and then increasingly harden the code by performing less in the kernel that panics and more in the cleanup kernel.
That way we can concentrate first on the interfaces to the rest of the kernel. And then we can make the solution bullet proof.

Might not be a bad idea.
