Bug Description
After installing the v4l2loopback-dkms module, I am not able to load it into the kernel. Attempting to load the module results in the following:
$ sudo modprobe -v v4l2loopback
insmod /lib/modules/
ERROR: could not insert 'v4l2loopback': Bad address
dmesg shows this:

While I don't know exactly what is going on, the easy fix seems to be to pull in the current debian sid package (0.8.0-1) which installs and loads cleanly on my ubuntu 13.10 install. While there is nothing in the changelog that stands out to me, clearly something is different as the debian 0.8.0-1 package works while the ubuntu 0.7.0-1 package does not produce a loadable module.
