I'm seeing one too on powerpc:

Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x0000000b


Which starts at:

  static int __init apo_pm_init(void)
  {
  	return (sysfs_create_file(power_kobj, &auto_poweron_attr.attr));
  }
  machine_device_initcall(pseries, apo_pm_init);

And seems to be caused by power_kobj being NULL:

  0:mon> d $power_kobj
