well, the good news is that your module cleanly inserts into the kernel
then, and the bad news is it's doing kernel-land segfaults :)

are you sure that a) the broadcom patch works with the kernel version
that you have and b) that you cleaned up the modules from your previous
build first?

if those don't produce any results, take a look at log messages from
dmesg(8) near the invalid paging requests.  also, if you're comfortable
reading hex addresses, you can use that error message to see in what
function the kernel borked (/boot/System.map-`uname-r`).
