PS: The kernels I used were from Aug 16 (broken compiled into kernel), 
and Aug 18 (fixed built as module). So it's possible that something got 
updated during that window to fix it.

PPS: The reason I went to build it as a module was simply so that I 
could unload and reload it to clear the memory, although this turned out 
to be unnecessary.
