Actually, if you compiled with debugging information on, you can use gdb
to get a pretty good location:

$ cd path/to/build/directory
$ gdb vmlinux
GNU gdb 6.3

This GDB was configured as "--host=i386-linux --target=x86_64-linux".

(gdb) li *0xffffffff80271e93

That is if your gdb is also compiled for 64 bit.
