Hmmm, the kernel text exposure on ARM usually means the hardened
usercopy patchset was applied to an ARM tree without the _etext patch:
http://git.kernel.org/linus/14c4a533e0996f95a0a64dfd0b6252d788cebc74

If you _do_ have this patch already (and based on the comment below, I
suspect you do: usually the missing _etext makes the system entirely
unbootable), then we need to dig further.

I assume exim4 got killed, though?

If you can figure out what bytes are present at c01ff000, that may
give us a clue.
