I don't know the particular reason for this one.
At first it would happen every time I compiled anything (all cpu
used). Then I added the ZTE Mobley to the USB hub. Even after removing
the Mobley, the panic would still happen often.
I then recompiled the kernel so only the 4 LITTLE cpus were used
(big.LITTLE support+switcher), but the panic still happens sometimes.
Now the consistency seems to come from the wireless adapter used as
both AP and managed client.
