You are right, sorry; I must have mixed that up. xtensa doesn't crash.
The boot stalls, similar to sparc64. This is only seen with my nommu
test (de212:kc705-nommu:nommu_kc705_defconfig). xtensa mmu tests are fine,
at least for me, but then I only run tests with initrd (which for some
reason doesn't crash on alpha either).
