I've just posted a short analysis of the problem and a proposed kernel
patch in:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=478717#118
It fixes the kernel crashes for me and should help to do further
analysis without crashing the running linux kernel.
The patch (and the problem) needs further discussion on parisc-linux
kernel mailing list though...
