One option is to issue a sysrq command that will print a backtrace (t,
w, l). I tend to use l (show-backtrace-all-active-cpus) as this
doesn't dump too much junk to dmesg. Above the backtraces you'll get a
modules linked in line which shows taint status for individual modules:

SysRq : Show backtrace of all active CPUs
sending NMI to all CPUs:
NMI backtrace for cpu 0
CPU 0

If there are no tainting modules listed you might want to see if
there's a last unloaded that could match.
