I can't reproduce a crash with the vanilla unstable tree.

Interesting.  I'll try to debug things further.

One place where the system crashes is at dmi scan time, because
__ioremap() is a "return NULL" when CONFIG_XEN_PHYSDEV_ACCESS is
not defined, which makes dmi_iterate's memcpy follow a NULL
pointer.

Which kernel is your patch against? The plain 2.6.10 dmi_scan.c only uses bt_ioremap() AFAICT, and it already checks the return value for NULL.

This is 2.6.11-rc1.
