What kind of workload triggers the problem?

Can you see if the panic is occuring from an interrupt handler?

One possibility is that the arm32 cpu_switch is not correct, and LOCKDEBUG
is changing the timing of events just enough that the problem does not occur
with it. The yamt-idlelwp removes a lot of MD code in this area - would you
be willing to try a kernel from the branch if I build one for you?

Yes please!
