I believe I'm experiencing the same problem that Mikael Pettersson reported, although the symptom is normally a hang with SMP, because the bad pointer dereference in __find_symbol results in the fault hanndler calling search_exception_tables, which calls search_module_extable, which tries to grab the modlist_lock spinlock, but that lock was already taken by resolve_symbol (which called __find_symbol in the first place).
Somone else on irc reported a similar problem when I asked.
Thanks Mikael, for posting the kernel oops listing. You probably just saved me about 45 minutes of switching over to a non-SMP kernel to check for that oops.
