Soren: Are you able to replicate this issue on QEMU?
If yes, it should be the best if you can provide Qemu, kernel .config/
rootfs and simple manual to Daniel how to reach that fault.
I tried to download qemu for zynq but it fails:

git clone git://git.xilinx.com/qemu-xarm.git
Cloning into 'qemu-xarm'...
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
Not sure which site have you found but
it should be just qemu.git
https://github.com/Xilinx/qemu

or github clone.
Ok, cool I was able to clone it.

I am also looking for the option specified for the kernel:

"The kernel needs to be built with this feature turned on (in
menuconfig, System Type->Xilinx Specific Features -> Device Tree At
Fixed Address)."
Ok.

This also sound like a very ancient tree.
This is the latest kernel tree - master-next is the latest devel branch.

Ok, cool. I have the right one.
Following the documentation, I was able to boot a kernel with qemu for
the linux-xlnx and qemu-xilinx.

But this kernel is outdated regarding the upstream one, so I tried to
boot a 3.11-rc4 kernel without success, I did the following:

I used the default config file from linux-xlnx for the upstream kernel.

I compiled the kernel with:

make -j 5 ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi-
UIMAGE_LOADADDR=0x8000 uImage

I generated the dtb with:

make -j 5 ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- dtbs

For qemu, I started qemu with:

./arm-softmmu/qemu-system-arm -M arm-generic-fdt -nographic -smp 2
-machine linux=on -serial mon:stdio -dtb zynq-zed.dtb -kernel
kernel/zImage -initrd filesystem/ramdisk.img

I tried with the dtb available for the upstream kernel:

zynq-zc706.dtb, zynq-zc702.dtb and zynq-zed.dtb

Did I miss something ?
Unfortunately the public github QEMU is behind our internal development.
IIRC, there were a couple of DT compatible strings QEMU didn't know.
Those are sometimes removed making boot fail/hang.

Are you on IRC? It's probably easier to resolve this in a more direct
way (I'm 'sorenb' on freenode). Otherwise I could give you a few more
instructions for debugging this per mail?
