It's fairly difficult to fix the drm_fb problem and a quick fix isn't foreseen, a simpler solution for the missing pvpanic call would be just to call this earlier. In order to assure that, this patch sets a higher priority to pvpanic notifier_block. Once when the issue of drm_fb is resolved, we can remove this priority again.
