Ok, so the Code: section from this splat says:

  25:   55                      push   %ebp
  26:   89 e5                   mov    %esp,%ebp
  28:   83 ec 08                sub    $0x8,%esp
  2b:*  80 3d c0 ee 97 01 00    cmpb   $0x0,0x197eec0           <-- trapping instruction
  32:   89 1c 24                mov    %ebx,(%esp)
  35:   89 74 24 04             mov    %esi,0x4(%esp)
  39:   74 12                   je     0x4d
  3b:   8b 1c 24                mov    (%esp),%ebx
  3e:   8b                      .byte 0x8b
  3f:   74                      .byte 0x74

which I can correlate to the dis_ucode_ldr test here:

        .loc 1 134 0
        .loc 1 137 0
        cmpb    $0, dis_ucode_ldr+1073741824    #, *_11
        je      .L46    #,


so we must be faulting when accessing that dis_ucode_ldr thing. But you
said that accessing it through its virtual address doesn't fix the issue
either. Which is very very strange...

Hmmm.
