Its the driver.  A few things have happened here, but I'll try to explain
it.
The IRQL (Interrupt Request Level) is a way of prioritizing events that
happen in the kernel.  A TRAP is an interrupt request, and a KMODE_EXCEPTION
is a fault cased by software error (like accessing non-existing memory).
The trap and the exception were unhandled, and the process was at too high
of an IRQL to recover  (a higher IRQL can not be interrupted, and virtual
memory might not have been accessable or something like that).  It appears
it might be using Paged memory when it can't pull it from disk  (As it
triggers the EXCEPTION, it can't handle it, as it can't interrupt the
process).

Now, if you wrote the driver, switch it to NonPaged memory.  If you know the
person who wrote it, have them do it.  Otherwise, if its a commercial
driver, COMPLAIN.  Make Noise.  That is a *BIG* programming mistake.
