I'm curious, what was the virtual address the kernel was "Unable to handle..."
That part was left off this bug report.

Nothing in the -stable series has changed either XFS or the core vfs
path on during file open.  Without a chance of reproducing or any more
information, it'll be tough to make much progress here.

Best I can tell, you hit this:

 mov    0x8(%eax),%edx

with eax == 00000000.  This corresponds to a vp->v_fops (or rather
vp->v_bh.bh_first->bd_ops) deref.  So, looks like the vnode has a
NULL v_bh.bh_first (which looks like it's meant to be used to mean
uninitialized).  May check with XFS folks if they've seen this type
of bug.
