smp_cross_call() is a function pointer, and the hint is:

here that the PC is zero.  It's initialised via set_smp_cross_call(),
which should be happening in drivers/irqchip/irq-gic.c for SMP
capable systems.

However, looking at this, this is an OMAP34xx based Beagle board, which
is a single CPU SoC.  There are no other CPUs to send IPIs to.
