Some digging, I notice "Invalidate Entire Instruction Cache" works without 
segfault.
So, Invalidate D-cache is no effect :)

It seems following should work for this issue:

        mov     r0, #0
        mcr     p15, 0, r0, c7, c5, 0           /* Invalidate Entire 
Instruction Cache */
        mcr     p15, 0, r0, c7, c10, 4          /* Data Synchronization 
Barrier */

Try this code instead of CF_ICACHE_SYNC.
I don't know side effect of Invalidate I-cache, but it works.
Also I don't know whether DSB is required or not.

For test, using NFS or HDD/SDD is BAD idea for system stress.
You must use SD(mmc) or USB memory. Serial console is recommended for 
interrupt test.
Here is simple test from serial console:

# rm -rf /var/db/portsnap /usr/ports
# mkdir /var/db/portsnap
# portsnap fetch
# portsnap extract
# cd /usr/ports/shells/bash
# make BATCH=y

If your kernel is really stable, it should finish without any problems with 
SD/mmc.
