Looks like you have CPU_IDLE enabled on panda. Hangs with current linux next with CPU_IDLE are currently being discussed on the linux-omap list in thread "omap4-panda-es boot issues with v3.15-rc4" I've seen occasional system hangs, and I've also noticed that doing ctrl-a-f h or ctrl-a-f l for sysrq backtrace can unlock the system producing similar errors to the below.
