Hmm.  It looks like you have non-bootstrap cpus running through the code.

Usually it is this hunk of code that traps errors.
	if (!boot_cpu()) {
		stop_this_cpu();

Although I can see something very weird happening if you have
BIST failure, on your secondary cpus. But that is quite 
unlikely.

It looks like the cpus are just running away :(  Usually I would
expect to interlaced characters form a message I recognize.  But I
don't recognize see anything I recognize here.
