Booting with kexec (after rebuilding it because for some reason we're
shipping a ppc32-capable kexec again, gr) shows that the corruption has
gone away:

Instruction dump:

38600000 383f0090 e8010010 7c0803a6 eb81ffe0 eba1ffe8 ebc1fff0 ebe1fff8 

I had been seeing it before:
fbbd0000 fbbd0008 48224d75 60000000 eb9e8000 7f83e378 48227829 60000000

00000200 00101100 00000810 7c0803a6 eb81ffe0 eba1ffe8 ebc1fff0 ebe1fff8 

I blame yaboot...
