For the 8250, I would expect the legacy driver (even during "hope and
pray" mode) to be fairly reliable.

If this is running in QEMU, you could attach gdb and dump the backtrace
for the panic CPU and investigate some state variables. If this is
reproducible, it may be worth investigating where/why the legacy
printing is choking.
