Hmm, I have no deep knowledge of ARM assembler programming,
but your patch branches to a C subroutine without setting up a
return address in the lr register.
Hence, the return in trace_irqs_... jumps to god-knows-where,
but not back to the next instruction.
As a wild guess, I replaced the "b trace_irqs_..." with
"bl trace_irqs_...".
With this change, the kernel boots fine, but the system seems to go
into an infinite loop as soon as the first usermode processes start.
Most likely, my change messes up the lr register of some surrounding
context.
