I thought of something like that initially, but did not do it to not
break users of this file. But as I am anyway breaking users by changing
the symbol name into symbol.NS, I might as well do it as you suggested.
Since read_dump() also knew already how to extract the namespaces from
symbol.NS, it had already worked without a change to the reading code
of modpost. Are there any other consumers of Module.symvers that we
should be aware of?

Agreed. I will update the documentation. It anyway needs an update.

Cheers,
Matthias
