If your kernel is compiled with CONFIG_KALLSYMS you can use the kallsyms utility to list the section names and their start and end addresses, and the symbol names, their start and end addresses, and the section each symbol belongs to, of the kernel and each loaded module. Incidently, you can then use objdump to get a clean dissassembly of the module with addresses that match the system. Make sure you've got the latest modutils package loaded for your particular revision of the kernel. If this isn't exactly what your looking for, take a look at the source for kallsyms. Hope that helps.
