It's just that compiling in the extra debugging (it might be
DEBUG_LOCKS or DEBUG_VFS_LOCKS, I forget which), causes the sizes of
structures to change, so when the module tries to fondle the structure
at a certain offset thinking it's accessing a certain field, it's
really fondling something else entirely and the kernel gets a nasty
surprise and panics.
