FYI, regarding my queries about the "unable to handle kernel paging
request" error - turns out the code in question, while it has been used
on multiple platforms - those platforms are all big-endian. There are
some endian issues in the conversion of the motorolla data that need

Thanks for that info ... this is my first dive into kernel debugging.

Ok, I changed my code to use vmalloc instead of kmalloc, which allowed
the code to proceed. My memory alloc sequence looks like this:
alloc 0x10 bytes

The last alloc, for 0x30 bytes, happens 39 times. Somewhere along
the line, I get the following
