Exception 6 is an illegal instruction.  So the question is what
instruction is at the faulting address?

It might be as simple as you are compiling the BSP with the wrong
CPU flags to gcc and getting code that this CPU cannot handle.
Or it could be a piece of assembly that is using some instruction
that is not there.  My guess is the former.

As a learning point, the fact that a message indicating exception 6
occurred was a BIG hint. :)
