That was it. The value @0xfa203bf8 is 0x20000001. The kernel certainly
moved forward till it stuck at the new place cpm_uart_initbd() as
shown below. I cannot get more info from gdb now since my BDI2000's fw
is too old to get MMU translation work for 2.6.x kernel. I'm waiting
for the new firmware upgrade.

(gdb) target remote bdi:2001

161     DEF_MMIO_OUT_BE(out_be32, 32, stw);

It sounds like that. gdb showed there was only one level of function
in the stack, which was udelay(). Strange? How to dump the kernel log
buffer?

Thanks a lot for your continuous help!
