That seems to be a NULL dereference (0e = page fault, cr2 0 = dereferenced address).
Try: $ addr2line -e vmlinux -i ffffffff802c9abd
This should print the name of the function that crashed. If you enable CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO you can get the exact line number info too (but remember to replace the ffffffff802c9abd with the new value if you recompile and run it again).
