Try two things:

1) adding 'options KDB_STOP_NMI' to your kernel config.

2) If you still can't get it to break to DDB, then compile up a
debugging kernel, run kgdb on it (as described in the developers'
handbook), and list *(0xblah) where that address is the value of the
instruction pointer in the trap message (e.g. 0xc6644eff in your paste
above).  That might at least be a start.
