Should be noted that since I'm not using the breakpoints, the dirtyfix is to put

return 0;

in the first line of arch_hw_breakpoint_init() in
arch/arm/kernel/hw_breakpoint.c

I suspect that is not an accepable solution ...

It hangs at PC is at write_wb_reg+0x20c/0x330
Which is c03101dc, and looks like this in objdump -d:

c031020c:       ee001eba        mcr     14, 0, r1, cr0, cr10, {5}

No idea if this helps.
