Modified the userland app to init some registers with a fixed value, and
ran a kernel with the debug patch below. It gets into bad_stack from
decrementer_common = c000000000003400. 3200 is coming from 
c000000000003200 <system_reset_common>:

So what does that mean? Should a softreset disable interrupts?
