Call die_if_kernel or one of its subroutines.

No, at present no SRM callbacks (however you get to them) will
work after paging_init. There is a documented way using srm_fixup
to relocate those routines so that they can continue to be used,
but I couldn't seem to make it work.

See the console section of the Alpha Architecture Manual for
details. I don't have it in front of me at the moment so I
can't give you a proper section number.

I'll try to look at the patch this evening.
