I've had this issue for over a year and never (I think?) got a good
version, so while it might be a regression, it's not a recent one.

I'm not really sure about the clocking. Is there any clock you want to
look at in particular?

My setup is fairly simple: the firmware and kernel are loaded over TFTP
and the rootfs is mounted over NFS, and the crash always occur around
init start, so I guess when it actually starts to transmit a decent
amount of data?
