It *is* a null pointer deref.  Joe and I looked at this problem,
and it seems a function called device_get_ivars() isn't doing
its job in sys/dev/usb/usb_port.h.  So the variable is getting
filled with a NULL pointer for the iface element and is later
deref'd.  That's the limit of my debugging, and Joe is looking
into the problem actively.
