Two points here:

1. You've found a case which causes a BUG_ON(). Where is the bug report
for this, so the problem can be investigated and resolved?

2. What do you mean by "aborted" ?

Please, if you find a problem with 32-bit ARM, report it. Don't hide it,
because hiding it can be a security issue or in the case of BUG_ON(), it
could be a denial of service issue.

As you're part of Linaro, I would have thought you'd be more responsible
in this regard - after all, Linaro is supposed to be about improving the
ARM kernel... Maybe I got that wrong, and Linaro is actually about
ensuring that the ARM kernel is stuffed full of broken features?
