the NULL dereference is here:

 (gdb) list *0xffffffff804a9504
 0xffffffff804a9504 is in natsemi_poll (drivers/net/natsemi.c:717).
 712             return count;
 713     }
 714
 715     static inline void __iomem *ns_ioaddr(struct net_device *dev)
 716     {
 717             return (void __iomem *) dev->base_addr;
 718     }
 719

which is this code from natsemi.c:

 2227            struct net_device *dev = np->dev;
 2228            void __iomem * ioaddr = ns_ioaddr(dev);
 2229            int work_done = 0;

seems like the NAPI changes in -rc1 added an np->dev field but forgot to
initialize it ...

does the patch below fix the oops for you?

Subject: natsemi: fix oops, link back netdevice from private-struct
From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

  commit bea3348e
  Author: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@linux-foundation.org>
  Date:   Wed Oct 3 16:41:36 2007 -0700

      [NET]: Make NAPI polling independent of struct net_device objects.

added np->dev to drivers/net/natsemi.c's struct netdev_private, but
forgot to initialize that new field upon driver init. The result was
a predictable NULL dereference oops the first time the hardware
generated an interrupt.

Set bits 0, 4, 5 and 7 of PCI configuration register 0x40 in the
quirk.  This has the following effects and is recommended by the
vendor.

* Force enable of IDE channels (used to be left alone as BIOS
  configured)

* Change initial phase behavior of PIO cycle such that the host pulls
  down the bus instead of tristating it.  Vendor recommends this
  setting.

The above settings are better for the current generation of
controllers and needed for the upcoming next generation.

Did a complete audit of these and found we have another error case.

ata_bus_softreset calls ata_check_status which means that it tries to do
an ioread8 on the port blindly and check versus 0xFF for an error.

It should of course be using the ap->ops method for this via chk_status,
and this bug causes a wrog status call on the NS87415 at least.
