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}
c0310210: eaffffb3 b c03100e4 <write_wb_reg+0x114>
c0310214: ee001eb9 mcr 14, 0, r1, cr0, cr9, {5}

c0310238: eaffffa9 b c03100e4 <write_wb_reg+0x114>

No idea if this helps.
