Yes, I can remove this BUG when setting:

VMSPLIT_2G

or some other option, was "VMSPLIT_3G" before and with this option I
will get the above message.

mhhh, okay... I am not sure I think there is some missing
IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_SMP) check.

When I changed to "VMSPLIT_2G" the above issue doesn't occur anymore.

Later while booting the kernel hangs forever, the solution on my side
was to enable:

CONFIG_HAVE_ARM_ARCH_TIMER

I think this doesn't use the BCM2835 timer anymore and some cortex-a7
related "generic timer", or?

btw:

After the RPi is booted succesful I get several:

[   35.048513] unexpected IRQ trap at vector 00

When I type something via uart (after each character).


Any ideas?
