There is already a hook in the patch that prints the offset:

+dump_kernel_offset(struct notifier_block *self, unsigned long v, void *p)
+{
+ pr_emerg("Kernel Offset: 0x%lx\n",
+ (unsigned long)&_text - __START_KERNEL);
...
+ atomic_notifier_chain_register(&panic_notifier_list,
+ &kernel_offset_notifier);

But of course, this can get improved.
