That's a fairly safe assumption.

I can't read PPC oopses in my sleep the way I can do x86, and in 
particular, I can't pinpoint that to the source code by just decoding the 
instructions and matching them against what I have. Do you have that 
binary, and can you do a 'gdb vmlinux' on it, and then have gdb tell you 
where in load_module "load_module+0x990" and "load_module+0x958" are?
