This screenshot makes more sense with the vmlinux you provided, problem 
at 0xc00136dc.

That's in function power_save_ppc32_restore() in 
arch/powerpc/kernel/idle_6xx.S.

Can you try the change below (won't work anymore without 
CONFIG_VMAP_STACK, will fix it properly later when you confirm it is OK).
