At a minimum, fix this to:

 - not print out that stupid "kernel" thing. Of _course_ it is the kernel.
   Modules can put their module name to clarify, but the core kernel
   certainly doesn't "clarify" anything by putting "kernel" there.

 - print out offset/length like the user-space ksymoops does. Without the
   offset the thing is useless, since you still need the real address to
   actually look up which instruction faulted.
