This line of assembly corresponds to the (dev = node->d_dev)
inside node_sync_dev_get() in vfs/devfs/devfs_vnops.c. node
is NULL.
0xc04853f9 <devfs_getattr+27>: mov (%edi),%edx (dev = node->d_dev)
(but 'node' is NULL so it faults)
0xc04853fb <devfs_getattr+29>: test %edx,%edx test dev for NULL
It looks like the devfs node is getting ripped out from
under the vnode but unfortunately there isn't enough information
to figure out why that happened.
