For Debian kernels this should be quite easy.  The sources are
browseable at:

http://sources.debian.net/src/linux/$PACKAGE_VERSION/$FILE#L$LINE

The package version is not the same as the kernel release string,
but appears at the end of the same line in oops messages, e.g. for
<http://oops.kernel.org/browse-reports/oops-detail/?id=30218> the
package version is 3.10.1-1.

This doesn't work for versions older than 3.2, or those with the RT
patchset, as sources.debian.net can't show the patched source for
these.
