Have you tried booting this with the 'earlyprintk' kernel option?
I tried this with a 3.2.0 kernel and the exynos4 defconfig and it
crashes (without 'earlyprintk' is fine). What seems to be happening
is that the printk() in s3c_init_cpu() ends up taking an abort
trying to read the UART status register in the waituart macro.
This load has worked fine up until this point (with the same
address being used for the load) but I have a feeling this is the
first printk after we've done some fiddling with the memory mapping
of devices. Presumably without 'earlyprintk' we don't try to
do this output and will dump the whole printk buffer later via
a different codepath.
Possibly this is a kernel bug but I'll let you track it down :-)

Some times ago we have tried it but not recently. Will check it and
report. Thanks.
