No sane way to bisect, I don't really know what triggers the issue. 
Neither it is triggered regularly. It might happen on the first reboot 
or on the tenth, or ... And it looks like the problems happens sometimes 
on oops too. Not to say that it seems I should have fully booted 
userspace (so there is enough pressure on the ubi/mdt/nand subsystems), 
which is impossible with upstream without some n900 specific patches :(

Maybe we can get some ideas on what and where to look from ubifs people? 
Though I don't know whom to cc, feel free to help :)

My best bet aiui, is comparing what nokia omap1 kernel does vs upstream. 
Or looking at the commit log in ubi/mtd/onenand - who knows, I might get 
lucky once again the same way as with that phonet oops in 
__netif_receive_skb_core.

I doubt, but who knows.

I booted the device via flasher with initrd from the so-called rescueos 
(https://n900.quitesimple.org/rescueOS/rescueOS-1.2/) - it provides 
shell with tons of useful tools if your device is in bootloop etc. CS0 
registers were the same as with u-boot, so it is not that one.
