I'm not really experienced with debugging kernel code or modules.

That's what I tried:

$ gunzip -c /usr/lib/modules/3.13.6-1-ARCH/kernel/fs/btrfs/btrfs.ko.gz > btrfs.ko
$ gdb btrfs.ko
[...]
Reading symbols from btrfs.ko...(no debugging symbols found)...done.
(gdb) list *btrfs_search_old_slot+0x7c4
No symbol table is loaded.  Use the "file" command.
(gdb) file /boot/vmlinuz-linux
Reading symbols from /boot/vmlinuz-linux...(no debugging symbols found)...done.
(gdb) list *btrfs_search_old_slot+0x7c4
No symbol table is loaded.  Use the "file" command.

It seems the addresses shown are dependent at load-time anyways? Or
should I recompile the kernel with debugging symbols and try again,
should that work?
