dmesg output

Just upgraded to 4.13rc2, rebooted, and my system crashed at my netmount init
script; says RIP is NULL, I am guessing a bad func call. I immediately thought
missing firmware in kernel, my kernel builds firmware in it, so I upgraded my
firmware to latest on git.kernel and made sure I had no warnings in dmesg about
missing firmware. Still, I receive this NULL pointer in the IP. If I disable my
netmount on boot, I can login, but can not bring up my interfaces, still get a
RIP err in kernel logs and cpu load sky-rockets.

I am willing to help and provide as much info as possible, thank you.
