Out of curiosity, are you building from source or is there a package
repo for LinuxCNC on the RPi?

I have someone interested in using a RPi+Mesa instead of a BBB for a
small machine control.  We're not actively building Machinekit
packages for Raspbian, and I noticed the LCNC hostmot2 driver has a
RPi SPI driver.  Is that what you're using?  I don't want to point him
this direction if it's not particularly stable, but he's technically
savvy enough to get over a few rough spots.
