Problem with TLB mcheck!

[art]

Hello linux community!
Please CC to me personaly, because I'am not subsribed yet.

I am relatively new Linux kernel (just work with some network adapter
drivers) and my english is poor, so excuse me if something wrong.
I work with Infineon ADM5120 chip (MIPS32 processor, little endian,
using tlb), setting embedded Linux on it.
Almost everything is work now (I port some drivers). But there is big
problem ( sg16lan is my network driver module):

[4294714.628000] Kernel panic - not syncing: Caught Machine Check exception - caused by multiple matching entries in the TLB.
[4294714.628000]

Panic occures when I work with big memory arrays (about 100Kb), when load firmware in the insmod-ed
driver. BUT! if driver is staticaly compiled in kernel all is ok.
I have try loading with two variants:
1. request_firmware call (it allocates memory with valloc)
2. ioctl call (it allocate memory with kalloc).
The same thing (if driver insmoded - panic, if staticaly compiled -
all work correctly).

IMHO this is Memory Management subsystem problem, because ported
driver is work fine on x86 processor and can not be reason of the
problem. But I can be wrong!
Where can I look and whom ask the questions??

I woud be thankful for any help.
Thanks anyway, Artem
