Don't worry to append a link to the screenshot next time ;).

Looks like dmi_string_nosave gets a mess. It tries to dereference
0xffffffffeff44003d. Could you investigate to which save_indent in
dmi_decode does the dmi_decode+0x72 correspond to?
Is this vanilla, i.e. what does -gentoo-r5 mean?
And also append a dmidecode output from a working kernel.
