In the meantime:  Is there perhaps something obviously wrong with 
drivers/ieee1394/eth1394.c's netdevice initialization?  We do it in 
ether1394_add_host(), and shortly thereafter the crashing 
ether1394_host_reset() is called.  So we have essentially

(add host)
	dev = alloc_netdev(...);
	initialize various members in dev...
	register_netdev(dev);

(host reset)
	netif_stop_queue(dev);
	discard some stale 1394 stuff if there were some...
	netif_wake_queue(dev);  <-- crashes in __netif_schedule(dev);
