So after looking around I managed to get the machine to boot
by commenting out(just to see) some calls in
init_ohci1394_controller

these are the ones:

set_fixmap_nocache(FIX_OHCI1394_BASE, ohci_base);

init_ohci1394_reset_and_init_dma(&ohci);


Then kind of isolating the issue I looked into
set_fixmap_nocache
Now looking at fixmap.h I see some comments about
x86_64 integration, leading me to believe maybe this is what/why
I'm hitting a panic.
