I was about to tell you to check default.txt as at a guess, the machine
number wasn't set.

Having looked at the kernel output, it looks serious and I don't know
why it would do that. It could be some kind of protection mechanism has
been left present by windows CE. To quote from arch/arm/kernel/traps.c:

/*

I don't think your hardware is buggy but there is something very wrong
with the machine state (maybe due to WinCE?). You could ask about this
on the linux-arm-kernel mailing list as they might have more of an
idea.

Welcome to the world of kernel development :)
