Running userland should never result in crashing the kernel except if
programs directly touch I/O hardware an do stupid things or abuse their
root priviledges..

This type of crash specifically has in the past been produced by incorrect
hazard barriers but also CPU hardware bugs so you may want to review the
kernel code against a CPU datasheet and errata documentation.  As always
with hardware that is only supported out of tree we can't be too helpful ...
