It seems to crash at
 60 extern const struct dma_mapping_ops *dma_ops;
 61 
 62 static inline int dma_mapping_error(dma_addr_t dma_addr)
 63 {
 64         if (dma_ops->mapping_error)
 65                 return dma_ops->mapping_error(dma_addr);
 66 
 67         return (dma_addr == bad_dma_address);
 68 }

because dma_ops is a NULL pointer here.
Can you add a WARN_ON(!dma_ops); at the beginning of the function
inside of include/asm/x86/dma-mapping.h to confirm this?
