In adeos_register_domain, when the root domain (linux) calls the adeos_switch_to function, the link register value stored for the RTAI_hal domain isn't set up properly to return to the register_domain function.

__adeos_init_domain(). Really. Excerpt:

	ksp[19] = (_cpuid == cpuid); /* r3 */
	ksp[25] = (unsigned long)attr->entry; /* lr <====== */
	ksp[26] = flags & ~MSR_EE; /* msr */
