OMAP4 panda gets stuck during reboot

Hi,

It seems like there's a bug on flush_pmd_entry() for multicore ARM CPUs.

I'm testing 2.6.37 with pandaboard and when running "reboot" it gets
stuck on:

asm("mcr	p15, 0, %0, c7, c10, 1	@ flush_pmd"
			: : "r" (pmd) : "cc");

I added a few printk()s around the code to find the specific spot where
the reset sequence was getting stuck and here's the output:

[  112.497253] ===> kernel_restart (line 312)
[  112.501525] ===> kernel_restart_prepare (line 294)

[  112.561035] ===> setup_mm_for_reboot (line 1071)
[  112.565856] ===> flush_pmd_entry (line 522)

What could it be ? Any more debugging I could do to help ?
