The first thing I'd do is try to figure out what's udev doing to trigger this
panic?

Is there any way you can figure out which ioctl this is? Presumably udev read
something from /sys that told it to mknod something in /dev. I'm not quite
sure where an ioctl comes into this...
If you could get a small C program that triggers the panic, and a
kernel .config you built your kernel with, that would be helpful.
