I think the problem here is likely to be in ubldr.  Today I tried to
recreate this and all I could get was complete system lockup right after
the kernel copyright displayed.  Eventually I noticed that your root
image is less than 10MB, so I created a little image about the same size
as yours and put init(8) in it, and with that I get the same panic you
do (different physical address, I'm doing it on a wandboard).

I think there are at least two separate problems here.  ubldr isn't
setting the right metadata for the load address, and then separately
from that, trying to load really big files corrupts memory somehow in a
way that locks up the kernel.

I'll keep poking at it.
