I think you will get to early user space. Dan Malek knowns more.
Also, I think the MachineCheck exception in head_8xx.S is broken.
I think is should be:
. = 0x200
MachineCheck:
EXCEPTION_PROLOG
mfspr r4,DAR
stw r4,_DAR(r11)
mfspr r5,DSISR
stw r5,_DSISR(r11)
addi r3,r1,STACK_FRAME_OVERHEAD
EXC_XFER_EE(0x200, MachineCheckException)
