Doing a objdump on the code I found this:

According to the picture, that showed where in the code dump, it has the
command that died: "<8b> 11 89 50 08".

Just before that, rcx was tested for zero, and passed (wasn't zero). But
it seems that it wasn't a real address space either.

bio is allocated with kmalloc and not kzalloc, so it is possible that if
bio->bi_bdev never got initialized and is just garbage.
