When you do some bad things in your Kernel Extension (such as writing

should a Kernel Panic occur in your Kernel Extension or can it occur

It depends on what you damage. If you read/write completely out of
bounds, your code will fail. But if you destroy a pointer belonging to
someone else, there is no way for the hardware/kernel to know a) that
that's what you're doing, or b) to blame you when some other code
attempts to use it.
