I assume you mean this only happens with 64K pages but not 4K pages?
I see the machine only has 4GB of RAM, so it's possible this is
a side-effect of an out-of-memory condition somewhere as kernels
with 64K pages need a lot more RAM.

This is an SError from user space, where the 'be' bit is the
encoding for SError, and the ISS and ISS2 words are all zero.

The CPU enables the 'RAS' extension, so ISS is defined according
to [1], but none of the bits are set, so this is 'Uncategorized'.

This seems particularly unhelpful from FVP, possibly a bug
in the RAS error reporting.

This again seems unrelated and only happens when it panics the
second time.
