Why not save yourself all that debugging effort and just
use gdb on the kernel image and:

(gdb) x/10i ndisc_build_ll_hdr+0x17

then match that assembler up with the output of:

bash$ make net/ipv6/ndisc.s

I'm flabbergasted that someone would resort to printk()'s
to figure out the precise location of this OOPS when the
OOPS says exactly the location :(
