Looks to me like you passed a null vfsmount into mnt_want_write().  

Could you stick a printk() into do_sys_open() and see what file it is
trying to open?  My guess is that it is either cramfs or the ramdisk
code causing trouble.  I'll look into it in more detail, but the
printk() would still be a good data point.
