I posted too soon; yesterday afternoon (a couple of hours after posting) I
found the answer to my question:

[bus error caused by kernel reference of a non-existent VME location]
Eventually I realized that this type of event is exactly what occurs in
the probe/attach sequence, so I looked in the probe routine and saw that
locations are queried with peek() and poke(), which are documented in TFM,
which says that they are only used in probe/attach routines.
