I don't know what the problem is but I can help clarify some
of the issues below.

Given the IOAQ data below, I'm pretty sure GR26 is garbage.

Anyway, the IO port address is most likely still in GR24
since it's the third arg to dino_inX. The call to gsc_readX
won't (shouldn't) clobber that.

That's right.
The arg to gsc_readX should be the address of Dino's PCI_DATA register.
That's what generates the IO Port cycle.

That was a good idea!

a500 console boot output shows:
| Segment 0 load 00100000 size 2163856 mediaptr 0x1000
| Segment 1 load 00312000 size 472144 mediaptr 0x212000
| Segment 2 load 00388000 size 302608 mediaptr 0x286000
| Segment 3 load 003d4000 size 16384 mediaptr 0x2d0000
| branching to kernel entry point 0x00100000

Not sure how to form the proper address from System.map.
I'd guess subtract 0x00100000?

Do these values mean the CPU was branching?
Normally I expect them to be +4 apart.
But it suggests we executed the ldwa insn and trashed GR26
before the HPMC was recorded.

The stack is just a temporary storage space for code to save registers.
IOAQ reflects the state of the CPU and has nothing to do with stack.

right - only time you'll see a function address (which was part
of the call chain) is when GR02 gets saved.
gsc_readX is a "leaf" routine and thus doesn't save GR02.
The last thing on the stack should be the caller to dino_inX().

I'll take a look and see if anything obvious pops up...
