Ah, that's because of this: module_init(ipgre_init);  Where it makes it
into:

00000000 <init_module>:
   0:   55                      push   %ebp
   1:   89 e5                   mov    %esp,%ebp
   3:   53                      push   %ebx
   4:   83 ec 08                sub    $0x8,%esp
   7:   c7 04 24 00 00 00 00    movl   $0x0,(%esp)
                        a: R_386_32     .rodata.str1.4

We can use ipgre_tap_init_net, and the offset of 0xb032 (45106) as that
was 0xffffffffa0e5d034 - 0xffffffffa0e52002. Do you have CONFIG_NET_NS
set?


You can also cat /proc/modules. It gives you where the modules are
located.
