You are right.  The code here only gives 0xffffffff to the load instructions and continue with the next instruction when the load instruction is causing the machine check.  This will prevent a system lockup when reading from PCI/RapidIO device which is link down.

I don't know what is actual problem in your case.  Maybe it is a write instruction instead of read?   Or the code is in a infinite loop waiting for a valid read result?  Are you able to do some further debugging with the NIP correctly printed?
