to give you more context I have run:
> powerpc-linux-gnu-objdump -S --start-address=0xC00BB700 vmlinux |
head -n 60

the discrepancy starts at address:
c00bb720: 40 82 00 30 <=> 40 82 00 2f
c00bb724: 4b ff fe 61 <=> 00 00 00 00

vmlinux: file format elf32-powerpc

c00bb700 <d_lookup+0x1c>:

* directory using the seqlockt_t rename_lock.
