Now to the Christmas cheer, i've tried v2.6.28 and couldn't help but
notice that the problem is gone, bisecting v2.6.27 (which funnily i
had to mark good) to v2.6.28 (which has to be marked bad) wasn't fun
but eventually converged at ab598b6680f1e74c267d1547ee352f3e1e530f89

     powerpc: Fix system calls on Cell entered with XER.SO=1

Now the lock-up is gone, however the code never exercises the path
taken during the lock-up so i guess it, at least, deserves a better
look by PPC64 care takers.

I'm confused. Which code never exercises which path, and so what
deserves a better look?

Before this change (atleast) mono_handle_native_sigsegv was executed
(before machine locks-up hard) after the change this code path is
never touched.

The fact that machine locks up hard and not even magic sysrq works
is what deserves a better look.
