In that case, the raid5 code contains an explicit NULL pointer
dereference which isn't a BUG() - the code line disassembles to:

   0:   ebfff1bc        bl      0xffffc6f8
   4:   e28dd044        add     sp, sp, #68     ; 0x44
   8:   e8bd8ff0        pop     {r4, r5, r6, r7, r8, r9, sl, fp, pc}
   c:   e3a03000        mov     r3, #0  ; 0x0
  10:   e5833000        str     r3, [r3] <=== faulting instruction

So, if you're saying that's not a BUG(), then I don't know what it is
and I'm afraid I can't help because the oops doesn't make any sense
to me.
