When you have a panic, the best is to use send-pr with a minimum
information (kernel config file, machine configuration, kernel symbol table
around the panic address and such.).
 
nm /kernel | sort | grep 0xf0176

That way, you'll find in which function the panic has occured (the 0xf0176
is taken from you example of course).

You may want to run the kernel debugger if you have regular or repeatable
panics. See the handbook for details:

Please note that using the mailing lists (in your example
freebsd-bugs@freebsd.org) is often faster.
