Kernel oops

[Patrick Higgins]

I've been working on getting the DoC driver to work when compiled
statically, and have managed to get past all the gotchas with respect to
compiling, but now I get a kernel oops on boot.  I've looked into it a
bit, but since I'm not the greatest decoder of oops messages the world has
ever seen, I haven't found the problem.  I've attached the ksymoops-ified
oops message in case anyone is a wizard with these things. :-)

I'll start tracking it down with printk (my read of the oops is that it's
happening somewhere near the beginning of DoC2k_init).
