ok, I assume the root cause of your problem is that the I/O memory
mapped registers of the PIC are not inserted into the page-tables of the
kernel/core. All I/O memory regions used by the kernel/core have to be
returned by the function "Platform::_core_only_mmio_regions" normally
defined within the "platform_services.cc" file of your board. At least
the PIC, Timer, and UART I/O memory mapped registers need to be listed
there, so that the kernel initialization code adds them to its
page-tables before turning the MMU on.

If the kernel raises a pagefault during its initialization, after taking
the "data_lock()" in "init_kernel_multiprocessor", it will try to take
that lock again when entering the kernel code again through the
exception vector. Thereby it hangs in the already locked lock. The
kernel, and core aren't allowed to page-fault at all.

Stefan
