Actually it's not a problem with the vmlinux file, but rather with
kernel module object files. The crash utility has an embedded gdb
module which is invoked as "gdb vmlinux", and to get line numbers,
the crash utility simply uses the relevant built-in gdb function to
get them. And line numbers work fine with the base kernel code from
the vmlinux file.
if the entire goal is to get a pinpoint of where the crash is, just
using scripts/markup_oops.pl will do the right thing.
