I suppose the "IRQ handler mismatch" happened just because you enabled
wrong rtc driver(s). It would be irrelevant.
In general, softlock just after "Freeing unused kernel memory" can
happen because /sbin/init crashed for some reason (kernel keep sending
signals to /sbin/init).
1. Enable second and third "#if 0" blocks in arch/mips/mm/fault.c
2. Add printk() before each force_sig() in arch/mips/kernel/traps.c,
branch.c, unaligned.c
might show you what's going on.
Also, SYSRQ-p or SYSRQ-t (BRK + p or BRK + t for serial console) might
be helpful, but it seems UART driver of your target board does not
support the MAGIC_SYSRQ feature...
