Of _course_ it is the kernel. Modules can put their module name to clarify, but the core kernel certainly doesn't "clarify" anything by putting "kernel" there. - print out offset/length like the user-space ksymoops does. Without the offset the thing is useless, since you still need the real address to actually look up which instruction faulted.
