Thanks for everybody's help.

It finally turns out to be a bug in my interrupt mechanism down to the
device driver/API function level -- a wrong (and redundant) pointer
assignment code. Funny enough the same code receives no complain in other
Linux distro like Redhat, Debian etc but with 2.6.x kernel though.

This also means that EPICS (R3.4.12.3) and asyn driver (4-22) work no
problem in ARM based processor (BeagleBone Black at least) and Angstrom
Linux.

Thanks again,
Jim

I would also suggest that you provide as much detail as you can (e.g.,
complete code) rather than snippets.
