/proc/sys/kernel/panic has been around for YEARS:

[cramer:ttyp0]dominion:~/[10:52am]:uname -a
Linux dominion 2.3.42-SMP #11 SMP Sun Feb 6 20:06:02 EST 2000 i686
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ****
[cramer:ttyp0]dominion:~/[10:52am]:ls -l /proc/sys/kernel/panic
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Nov 1 10:52 /proc/sys/kernel/panic

And that's the oldest kernel I happen to have running at the moment.
