Yeah, OK -- in fact, I've got to believe that there must be examples
that exist within the base kernel itself, and not just with modules.

Anyway, for crash-6.0.8 I'll queue up a "set context" (or "set scope"?) 
environment variable that takes a kernel/module text address -- with
a default of 0 to keep the behavior the same as it is now.

Thanks,
