I don't think we have actual DMA attempts to the IRQ stack, so this should
not make a difference. What might help is to print some more information
in omap3_l3_app_irq() that is likely provided by the hardware. The BUG_ON()
happens for any timeout error, and that is most of the possible errors.
Simply dumping the L3 registers should at least show the exact type of
timeout, and maybe the DMA master ID and physical address that can
be traced back into a virtual address.
Setting CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG=y should get the same information
I think, but it can't hurt to do both.
