Hi,Huacai,

You are right, I haven't hit this crash in practice -- it was from                                                                                                                                                                                                        reading the code, not an observed failure. I'll drop this patch.                                                                                                                                                                                                           
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
I didn't verify carefully enough whether the NULL path is actually                                                                                                                                                                                                         
reachable here. After re-reading the code and the manual, map_bus()                                                                                                                                                                                                        
won't return NULL in this fixup context, so the check is unnecessary.                                                                                                                                                                                                      
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
Sorry for the noise. 

Best regards,
Xuewen Wang
