Highly unlikely to make any difference.  As the failure happens soo early
with the patch applied, the kernel hasn't had much of a chance to touch
the hardware - about the only things are the decompressor and the kernel
touching the early console.  As they seem to be working, it suggests
that's not the cause.

It seems to be pointing towards something in the boot loader...

Normally, uboot will hook itself into the vectors to report errors, but
I wonder whether uboot enables asynchronous aborts while it's running.
Don't forget to make sure that the aborts are disabled again prior to
calling the kernel.
