Karabiner being installed causes issue on shutdown. #2527

On my M1 MacBook Pro, when Karabiner is installed, during a shutdown or reboot the machine flashes a pink screen. When it is turned on I get an error message "Your computer was restarted because of a problem".

This issue goes away once I uninstall Karabiner, and being immediately once I reinstall it.

This issue was caused by an issue of macOS Big Sur kernel on Apple Silicon that is caused by using DriverKit. Karabiner-Elements is using DriverKit and the usage invokes the kernel issue and causes kernel panic, and there was no practical workaround to avoid the issue.

However, this macOS problem has been fixed in macOS Big Sur 11.3 Beta!

There is no panics on M1 macs with the latest beta of macOS Big Sur. https://beta.apple.com/sp/betaprogram/
