Most certainly, here we go :

# insmod /tmp/unalign.ko 
RJK1: fsr=23 far=e1c1f743 dacr=51
RJK2: fsr=23 far=e1c1f743 dacr=51
pgd = e1cc4000
[bf00202c] *pgd=c1cab851, *pte=c1cb504f, *ppte=c1cb501f
RJK3: fsr=2f far=bf00202c dacr=51
RJK4: fault=4 instr=0x00000000 instrptr=bf00202c
pgd = e1cc4000
[bf00202c] *pgd=c1cab851, *pte=c1cb504f, *ppte=c1cb501f

Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address e1c1f743
pgd = e1cc4000
[e1c1f743] *pgd=c1c0044e(bad)

It happens on both mioa701(pxa270) and cm-x300(pxa310), with the same
cross-compiler+host and kernel source.
Yet doesn't happen on zylonite(pxa310), but different cross-compiler+host.

I'll try to have a single kernel (binary) tried over the cm-x300 and zylonite to
cross-check.

Cheers.

PS: unalign.ko is a module which does a p=kmalloc(4096), then dereferences
    *(p+3)
