ok, I see.

So the code looks something like

                        "1:     lw      %1, %2, r0;                     \
                                addk    %0, r0, r0;                     \
                        2:                                              \
                        .section .fixup,\"ax\";                         \
                        3:      brid    2b;                             \
                                addik   %0, r0, %3;                     \
                        .previous;                                      \
                        .section ,\"a\";                      		\
                        .word   1b,3b;                                  \
                        .previous;"                                     \

Not much that can go wrong there. First of all, I'd check that the
code actually looks the same in the binary. I assume that the 'addik'
gets executed when the brid branches, right?

I would guess that some of the logic in do_page_fault might be
broken and does not actually call the fixup.
