Oh good catch, this is a fix for powerpc/64 as well. I think actually 
the panic was supposed to go in the bail: path, it's missing from
there.

But you may have a point, I don't know if we need to panic the box if 
we have !RI in process context... Possible we might be able to remove
those panics and just turn them into die.

Thanks,
Nick
