Likely a broken module_exit() function that corrupts the list. To track
these down it might be useful to keep a list of recently unloaded modules
and dump these too in the oops module list with a special flag.

I suspect that simply printing the currently unloading module will catch 90%+ already;
I'll look into adding this, it's a very good idea.
