Have you got a console on this system (or can you attach one)? If so, have
you tried Right Alt+ScrLk, which should print out the CPU registers?
If it's really hung in an interrupt handler, this won't work (I think), but if
it's spinning in kernel code elsewhere, it should. You can write down a few
values for .. whatever the PC is called on MIPS, and check these against your
System.map to find out the function name. You might want to cross-post to
linux-kernel if you think it's a kernel problem.
