The "root cause" may be hard to determine, but the immediate cause was 
helpfully decoded by the kernel. (Though I don't know whether all of the 
model-specific fields were decoded.)

UNCOR = uncorrected error
PCC = processor context corrupted (can't safely continue to execute, thus the 
panic)
OVER = error overflow (hmmm, multiple errors occurred)
DCACHE L2 DRD = data being read from L2 data cache

The miscellaneous register indicates that 0xbd8d4cc0 is a physical address.

So this looks like a processor failure. If it is repeatable, though, it may 
indicate either failed hardware or some problem in configuring the processor 
(though I'm not sure how that could lead to a cache error).
