Very odd...

You need to some how convert these addresses, inside "[<..>]" to
syumbolic addresses in the kernel.
You can do it with gdb:

  gdb vmlinux
  disassemble 0xc002442c

but that can be a bit laborious.  There is a program called "ksymoops"
which does it for you, if you can find an 'arm' version.
