Thanks Matthew.   I need to sort this out with some regression testing. 
  The latest master branches of poky & meta-fsl-ppc provides a kernel 
that oops while it's probing flash during boot.

With the latest fsl-image-minimal rootfs and a mainline kernel, I get an 
init that hangs when it tries to exec getty.

I see that the the "serial8250: too much work for irq42" message comes 
from "drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250.c" and that there have been plenty of 
patches to this file this year.

I'll chime in again later.
