It's setup_sigcontext(), not arch_sync_dma_for_cpu_all() that's
causing the exception ;-)

Hand decoding the Code gives me

lw $1, 0xb4($fp)
or $v0, 0, 0
addiu $a0, $s1, 8
sw $v0, 0($a0) <- the code in brackets, so I guess EPC?
sw $v1, 4($a0)

which I assume is this part:

err |= __put_user(regs->cp0_epc, &sc->sc_pc);

(0xb4 is the offset of cp0_epc, 0x8 the offset of sc_pc)

One thing I see is that we do the RAC flush for BMIPS3300, 4350 and
4380, but only initialize it for 3300 [1], but leave it at whatever
state the bootloader did for the other ones. Maybe it has some invalid
config in (that particuar?) 6358 that triggers issues later on after a
flush? E.g. the flush puts it in an error state, and the next time
something triggers a prefetch(write?) (by trying to access userspace)
it generates an error exception.

Just spit balling though.
