The guy I share an office with (who's out on vacation) worked through 
this with their tech support, who suggested replacing WFI instructions 
with NOPs.

Look at cpu_v7_do_idle in arch/arm/mm/proc-v7.S.  Changing the WFI to a 
NOP did the trick for him.

Presumably power management was off, but even WFI (wait for interrupt) 
put the CPU in a state that wasn't handled by the BDI firmware at the 
time.  I'm not sure if they resolved the issue in a later firmware 
update or not.  We didn't think the workaround was worthy of a Kconfig 
option - hopefully updated firmware for the BDI box will address the issue.
