Is the crashing program multithreaded?  The first report had firefox

OK, I've got a test program that triggers it now.  I'll see if I can
figure out what's going on.

Changing update_mmu_cache() to always call flush_dcache_icache_page()

exception table entry for the dcbst.
I can confirm that this seems to fix it.
