Description mrrosen 2014-01-20 19:21:37 UTC 
Open can generate an EFAULT (errno = 14) if the const char* path is an invalid pointer (ie one that is not accessible). However, while the man-page lists numerous possible error codes open might generate, this one is missing.

I think you've missed something. EFAULT is listed in open(1):
