I'm not experienced with this, so who knows if it will work or not. Anybody else experienced with backporting kernel functionality?

I've done some work on that

Usually when you get it to hang or reboot, the clues can be found from the console output. It's pretty easy to hook up to actually, you just need a cheap USB<->RS232 converter, something like this CP2102 module which cost under 2 euros on ebay.

When using it, an adapter is nice but you can do without, usually I just press the RX&GND pins on end of the RS232-cable to the phone connectors by hand and reboot the device... the contact is good enough to get the boot message so I know where it slips from the rails
