I'm really struggling to work out what went wrong there.  Comparing your
miserable 20 bytes of code to my object code makes me think that this:

		struct packet_sock *po = pkt_sk(sk);

returned -1, perhaps in %ebp.  But it's all very crude.

Perhaps you could compile that kernel with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO, rerun it (the
addresses might change) then have a poke around with `gdb vmlinux' (or
maybe just addr2line) to work out where it's really oopsing?

I don't see much which has changed in that area recently.
