I've seen a kernel address at least in pptp_bind, it was a return pc
in SyS_socket call that was executed just before bind.
Exact contents of the leaked info depend on kernel config, compiler
and a previous executed syscall (there are thousands of them if we
count ioctls and friends). So it is almost impossible to prove that a
PC cannot be leaked.
