Null pointer OOPS in sync_inodes_sb+0xa9/0x104

[George Spelvin]

Just after resuming from a suspend to RAM, 2.6.38-rc6 plus Eric Dumazet's
[PATCH] net: Add default_advmss() methods to blackhole dst_ops

Core 2 duo, 32-bit kernel, 2 GiB RAM.
I suspend to RAM every few days; this is not the first
time since booting.

The display hadn'd flipped to X yet, so I managed to capture the screen
(manually transcribed):

I can't make much sense out of it, but maybe someone can.  It's a simple
laptop with one rotating hard drive.  Distro is Debian/unstable, kernel
is hand-compiled from Linus' git.
