boot on panda shows kernel oops

[C de-Avillez]

pandaboard A4. Booted a pre-installed image (current server 20120421); image was expanded without errors, system rebooted. On reboot I see at least two kernel OOPSes, one very early on the boot:

and one a bit later, but still during the boot:

Hitting slowpath warnings in various drivers and subsystems, while unfortunate, isn't a world-ending, release-critical bug. But these sorts of things should certainly be looked at for later and considered for SRUs.
