The problem is duplicate symbols.  If there are two static functions
named 'foo' then livepatch needs a way to distinguish them.

Our current approach to that problem is "sympos".  We rely on the fact
that the second foo() always comes after the first one in the symbol
list and kallsyms.  So they're referred to as foo,1 and foo,2.
