Can you check if, at some point during the system execution (starting
from boot), 0xdd5b1d58 is an address where a module is loaded ? (the
module can be later unloaded, what I wonder is if this address would
appear to have had a loaded+unloaded module).
Actually, could you try to compile your kernel without "MODULE_UNLOAD" ?
